The ghost town



The town of Grindavík was the victim of an earthquake and volcanic eruption. The lava stopped at the town border, but took down one house.

There are no more children in the town and the playgrounds and sports fields are empty

An empty school building is only a monument to a bygone era of a flourishing locality.

Only the wind plays with the swings like an invisible ghost.


Many houses have cracked floors. Below is an abyss 15 meters into the ground.
Buildings have split in two

In the distance you can see the crater and the lava that was heading for the town.


The settlement has been abandoned, but the residents are unhappy with the government's late response at the beginning of the disaster.

The community is now very scattered throughout the country.
