The March–September 2021 Geldingadalir eruption poured fluid basalt into a small valley south of Fagradalsfjall, building cones and a thickening lava field.

Thousands of visitors hiked to overlooks as time-lapse cameras recorded days of activity compressed into minutes of advancing flows and rising steam.
