The country’s meteorological service said that a volcano in southwest Iceland erupted on Sunday, the fifth eruption in the Reykjanes peninsula since 2021.
According to the Civil Protection Service, a Coast Guard helicopter has been dispatched to investigate the situation and determine the exact position.
The eruption began north of the fishing village of Grindavik, although it was unclear where the lava was coming from or which direction it was flowing.
The last eruption on the peninsula began on December 18 in the Svartsengi volcanic system, following the complete evacuation of Grindavik’s 4,000 residents and the closure of the major tourist attraction Blue Lagoon geothermal spa.
Grindavik was eventually saved since the lava flowed in the opposite direction of the settlement.
Iceland, located between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, two of the world’s largest, is a seismic and volcanic hotspot as the plates move in opposite directions.
