ALBAWABA - A volcanic eruption has been recorded in southwestern Iceland, as national TV releases live footage of the eruption for the second time this year, making it the sixth outbreak on the Reykjanes peninsula since 2021.
Live video images showed glowing lava oozing from a fissure, illuminating a plume of smoke rising into the night sky, while broadcaster RUV reported that the eruption began at 6:00 a.m., about 40 minutes after seismic activity began to increase in the area.
The previous eruption began on Jan. 14 and lasted about two days, with lava flows reaching the outskirts of the Grindavik fishing town, which had nearly 4,000 residents evacuated, and setting some houses on fire.
