Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula Volcano Erupts for Fourth Time in Three Months

The latest eruption, the most powerful in the recent series, prompted evacuations in Grindavik and the Blue Lagoon spa.

A volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula erupted for the fourth time in three months, marking the most powerful eruption in the series since December.
The eruption opened a nearly two-mile-long fissure, leading to evacuations in the coastal town of Grindavik and the popular Blue Lagoon geothermal spa.
Authorities had only minutes of warning before the eruption, but no injuries or property damage have been reported thus far.
Scientists suggest the volcanic system may be deeply connected underground, indicating a new period of regional volcanic activity may be beginning.
Infrastructure, including the Svartsengi geothermal power plant and main roads, has been protected, and no flights have been disrupted.
