After weeks of intense earthquake activity, an evacuated area in Iceland, cleared just weeks before, witnessed hundreds returning on Monday as a volcano erupted on the Reykjanes peninsula.

The Sundhjuka crater’s eruption, illuminating the night sky at 10:17 pm, followed a series of earthquakes in the region.

Video footage captured the dramatic moment, revealing Iceland’s dark night sky bathed in a deep orange hue as molten rock soared into the air.

A sprawling lava fissure, measuring four kilometers and expanding, is cutting through the Reykjanes peninsula in the aftermath of the eruption.

Reports from local media indicate that the fissure is currently a mere 2.5 kilometers north of the town of Grindavík.

The fissure’s increasing size poses a threat to scientific instruments deployed in the rural area to monitor its development, the Daily Mail reported.
