Reykjavik: A fishing village in southwest Iceland was evacuated on Tuesday after lava began spewing from a volcanic eruption, the eighth to hit the region since the end of 2023.
The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) said “an eruption has started on the Sundhnuksgigar Crater Row” north of the fishing village Grindavik.
The IMO said initially reports indicated that the “eruptive fissure” extended about 700 metres (765 yards), reporting hours later that it extended about 1,200 metres. — AFP
