Iceland volcano erupts after weeks of quake activity | ABS-CBN News

A volcano in southwest Iceland erupted on Monday following weeks of intense earthquake activity, the country's Meteorological Office said. Fearing a significant outbreak on the Reykjanes peninsula, authorities had evacuated the nearly 4,000 inhabitants of the fishing town of Grindavik and closed the nearby Blue Lagoon geothermal spa. Reykjanes is a volcanic and seismic hot-spot southwest of the capital Reykjavik. In March 2021, lava fountains erupted spectacularly from a 500-750-meter-long fissure in the ground in the Fagradalsfjall volcanic system.
