An aerial view taken with a drone shows lava and smoke spewing from a volcanic fissure during an eruption, near the town of Grindavik, in the Reykjanes peninsula, southwestern Iceland, 19 December 2023. The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) announced the start of a volcanic fissure eruption near the Sundhnuka crater, north-east of Grindavik, on the night of 18 December, following weeks of intense earthquake activity in the area. The power and seismic activity of the eruption have decreased over time, IMO reported on 19 December, adding that since the eruption began, about 320 earthquakes have been recorded.

But new vents could open at short notice at the volcano on the Reykjanes peninsula, meteorologists say. Source link : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67770645?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA Author : Publish date
