A new volcano erupted on the Reykjanes peninsula in southwestern Iceland, spewing lava and prompting the evacuation of the nearby town of Grindavik. This was the fifth eruption in six months in the region, with the lava flow reaching close to the defensive barrier protecting the town. Despite warnings, a few residents refused to leave, while tourist attractions like the Blue Lagoon were also evacuated. The eruption was not expected to disrupt air traffic, and it followed intense earthquake activity and accumulating magma in the area. Iceland, known for its high number of active volcanoes, has experienced a series of eruptions recently, leading to the belief that a new era of seismic activity has begun in the region.
