A crucial route for transportation, Nesvegur, west of Grindavik in Iceland, has suffered significant damage and is now completely impassable.

Video captured the scene on Monday 13 November, as Iceland and the world waits to see whether the area sees a volcanic eruption of some kind.

The area has been hit with thousands of earthquakes recently and measurements show that land in the area has been pushed up by magma building up under the surface.

All roads leading to Grindavik are now closed, with traffic forbidden due to the deteriorating condition of Nesvegur.

The road will require extensive repairs before it is passable again and it is unclear when work might begin, given the ongoing nature of the geological situation.

This footage was filmed and produced 13 November 2023.

A crucial route for transportation, Nesvegur west of Grindavik, situated opposite the golf course, has suffered significant damage and is now completely impassable. All roads leading to Grindavik are closed, with traffic forbidden due to the deteriorating condition of Nesvegur. The road's current state is deemed severe, requiring extensive repairs.

Rescue squads and responders, granted an exception to use Nesvegur for their operations, have acknowledged the road's dire condition. However, it is now apparent that the road will remain unusable until comprehensive repairs are undertaken. The process is contingent on obtaining a permit from the Public Protection Agency. The road's condition has progressively worsened, emphasizing the urgency for prompt intervention and highlighting the challenges posed by its ongoing deterioration.
