Iceland's Svartsengi Volcano Eruption Ceases; Residents Return Home Amid Warnings

Despite the cessation of the eruption, the Icelandic Meteorological Office warns of rapid changes and considerable conditions in the area.

Residents of the small Icelandic fishing village of Grindavik have been allowed to return home after a volcano erupted near the town.
The volcano, known as Svartsengi, had been dormant for around 780 years and its eruption was larger and more powerful than recent ones.
Despite the eruption having ceased, the Icelandic Meteorological Office warns that conditions can change rapidly and the area remains in a 'considerable' condition.
Nearly 90 earthquakes were recorded in the Grindavík region in the last 24 hours, although they were of a lower scale.
Some residents found their homes damaged by the earthquakes that preceded the eruption, but others reported minimal damage.
