Volcano Eruption Disrupts Reykjanes Peninsula

A volcanic eruption on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, the sixth since December, has caused significant disruptions, including the evacuation of the Blue Lagoon spa and the fishing town of Grindavik. The Icelandic Meteorological Office reported that lava spewed from a fissure over 2 miles long, with seismic activity and gas pollution posing ongoing risks. Despite the dramatic display, authorities have indicated that the eruption does not currently threaten life or disrupt flights. Scientists warn that such volcanic activity could continue for decades, adding to the challenges faced by local residents and infrastructure. The eruption has led to concerns about pollution from toxic gases and the potential for further geological instability in the region.
