Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula erupts again as experts warn of long-term volcanic activity

Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula has erupted for the seventh time in less than a year, with a new fissure releasing lava. This ongoing volcanic activity, which began on Wednesday, has forced the evacuation of 50 homes and the Blue Lagoon resort. Experts warn that these eruptions could continue for decades, as the region experiences a significant geological awakening after being dormant for 800 years. Concerns include harmful gas emissions that could affect air quality in nearby areas. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely but report no immediate threat to air travel. They are also constructing barriers to protect communities and infrastructure from potential lava flows.
