Volcano Erupts For Second Time in Southwestern Iceland, Sending Lava Flowing Toward Nearby Settlement

Building Catches Fire After a Volcano Erupts in Iceland -Emergency Declared as Lava Sets Town on Fire

Daily Mail 15 JAN 2024

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) - A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted for the second time in less than a month on Sunday, sending lava snaking toward a nearby community and setting at least one home on fire.

The eruption, which began just before 8 a.m. local time, came after authorities evacuated the town of Grindavik following a swarm of small earthquakes, the Icelandic Meteorological Office said. Hours later, a second fissure opened near the edge of town and lava crept toward the homes.

"We just watch it on the cameras and there´s really nothing else we can do," Grindavik resident Reynir Berg Jónsson told Iceland´s RUV television.

Grindavik is a town of 3,800 people about 50 kilometers (30 miles) southwest of Reykjavik, Iceland´s capital. The community was previously evacuated in November following a series of earthquakes that opened large cracks in the earth between the town and Sýlingarfell, a small mountain to the north. The nearby Blue Lagoon geothermal spa - one of Iceland´s biggest tourist attractions - also closed temporarily.

The volcano eventually erupted on Dec. 18, and residents were allowed to return to their homes on Dec. 22.

In the weeks since then, emergency workers have been building defensive walls around Grindavik, but the barriers weren´t complete and lava is moving toward the community, the meteorological office said.

People watch from the north as the volcano erupts near Grindavík, Iceland, Sunday Jan. 14, 2024. A volcano has erupted in southwestern Iceland, sending semi-molten rock spewing toward a nearby settlement for the second time in less than a month.
