Volcano erupts in Iceland spewing lava from the ground

A volcano has erupted in Iceland spewing out streams of bright yellow and orange lava – the latest in a string of volcanic events in the region in recent years.

Iceland has seen about 12 eruptions since volcanic systems on the Reykjanes peninsula – close to the capital Reykjavik – became active again in 2021.

According to Iceland’s meteorological office, magma breaking through the Earth’s crust created a large fissure estimated to be between 0.7 and 1km (0.4 to 0.6 miles) long.

Scientists have warned that eruptions in this region could continue for decades or even centuries.
