Reykjanes Volcano erupts again in Iceland prompting evacuations and gas warnings
Iceland's Reykjanes Volcano erupted for the seventh time on Wednesday, releasing lava from a fissure about 1.8 miles long. The eruption began with little warning and has led to alerts for harmful gas emissions, particularly affecting the town of Grindavík. Authorities evacuated around 50 homes in Grindavík and guests at the Blue Lagoon resort as a precaution. While the eruption poses no immediate threat to air travel, residents remain on high alert due to ongoing seismic activity. This eruption is smaller than previous ones this year, according to Iceland's meteorological office. The Reykjanes Peninsula has seen increased volcanic activity, prompting concerns for local communities and infrastructure.
