Iceland Volcanic Eruption

A volcanic eruption has begun again on a peninsula adjacent to Iceland's capital Reykjavik, the sixth time lava has emerged in the area in the space of a year. The Lava burst to the surface at 9:26 p.m. local time on Thursday.

A volcano in southwestern Iceland sent glowing hot lava shooting more than 50 metres into the air on Wednesday, its fifth eruption since December and the most powerful one since its volcanic system became active three years ago.

A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted on Wednesday, live video from the area showed, making it the fifth outbreak since December.

Lava spewed Saturday from a new volcanic fissure on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula, the fourth eruption to hit the area since December, authorities said.

Iceland's world-famous Blue Lagoon has been evacuated due to nearby seismic activity that suggests an "imminent" volcanic eruption, reported CNN, citing the country's public broadcaster RUV.

A volcano erupted on Thursday in south-west Iceland for the second time this year, public broadcaster RUV and other local media reported, making it the sixth outbreak on the Reykjanes peninsula since 2021.

A volcanic eruption began on Monday night in Iceland, south of the capital Reykjavik, following an earthquake swarm, Iceland's Meteorological Office reported.

Over the last 48 hours, the strongest quake had a magnitude of 2.7, the Icelandic Met Department said.

The last volcanic eruption in the Reykjanes peninsula took place in 2021. It was the first one in eight centuries.

A town has been evacuated in southwestern Iceland after hundreds of earthquakes caused by shifting underground magma sparked fears of a full-blown volcanic eruption.

Icelandic authorities were on Tuesday preparing to build defence walls around a geothermal power plant in the southwestern part of the country that they hope will protect it from lava flows amid concerns of an imminent volcanic eruption.

In the past few days, Iceland has been shaken by more than 2,000 small quakes and people have been told to evacuate Grindavik, home to around 4,000 people.

The UK Foreign Office has warned of an increasing likelihood of eruption, updating travel advice but not prohibiting flights at Keflavik International Airport.

Iceland, positioned on a tectonic plate boundary along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, is home to 33 active volcanoes.

The eruptive faults reached a total size of around 900 metres overnight, compared with 200 to 300 metres initially, according to the latest update from the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) Tuesday.
