Iceland Volcano Erupts Again, Sixth Since December

A powerful volcanic eruption occurred on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwestern Iceland, marking the sixth eruption since December 2023. The eruption began shortly after 9 PM local time, following a series of strong earthquakes, and has created a 4-kilometer fissure. Authorities have ordered evacuations in areas threatened by lava flows, but they assure that the effects remain localized, with no immediate danger to the population. Unlike prior eruptions, the lava is not advancing toward Grindavík, alleviating concerns for its residents. The breathtaking spectacle has drawn numerous tourists, with many expressing awe at the natural phenomenon. Despite the eruptions, air travel remains unaffected, allowing continued access for visitors to the region.
