Fagradalsfjall erupted again on 3 August 2022, after days of strong earthquakes in the area. The latest eruption began at a fissure only a few hundred feet away from last year’s spectacular spewing of lava.

Since the volcano has now erupted twice in less than a year, volcanologists believe this could mark the start of decades of occasional eruptions in Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula. There is currently low threat to populated areas or critical infrastructure, but tourists and residents have been advised to avoid the area due to poisonous gasses.
