Volcano erupts on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula for seventh time this year

A volcano erupted on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula on November 20, 2024, marking its seventh eruption in a year. The eruption created a fissure about 3 kilometers long and is smaller than the previous eruption 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 nearby town of Grindavik. The repeated eruptions have damaged infrastructure and forced some residents to relocate. Authorities state that this latest eruption does not pose a further threat to Grindavik.
