Icelandic volcano erupts, triggers state of emergency

An overnight volcanic eruption in Iceland triggered a state of emergency as lava streams advanced perilously close to the town of Grindavik, home to approximately 3,800 residents.

This eruption, the fourth in three months on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland’s southwest, unfolded with dramatic force, as a nearly 2-mile fissure tore open the Earth’s surface, unleashing torrents of molten lava.

Grindavik had previously faced evacuation during the initial eruption in December, which marked the region’s first volcanic activity in 800 years.

Despite some residents returning after the initial eruption, they were once again forced to evacuate on Saturday, The Hill reported.
