Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula volcano erupts for seventh time this year
A volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula erupted late Wednesday, marking its seventh eruption since December. The eruption created a fissure about 3 kilometers long but is smaller than the one in August. Iceland's meteorological office reported that the eruption poses no threat to aviation. However, there are warnings about gas emissions affecting parts of the peninsula, including the town of Grindavik. Grindavik, home to 3,800 residents, has faced damage and evacuations from previous eruptions. Authorities state that this latest eruption does not pose a further threat to the town.
