Iceland has been in a state of emergency following its fourth volcanic eruption since December. The emergency, declared in southern Iceland, comes as the volcano continues to spew smoke, bright orange lava into air days after eruption. Despite the “slow and steady” flow of lava, the situation has necessitated the declaration of an emergency. Consequently, Blue Lagoon, one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations, was evacuated. The videos of the volcano in Iceland has been doing rounds on social media. The eruption, which began between Stori-Skogfell and Hagafell on the Reykjanes Peninsula, marks the fourth such incident since December. The lava has reached the eastern side of the small fishing town of Grindavik, which had been evacuated in November due to a significant increase in earthquakes and tremors that also resulted in road damage. Iceland: Volcano Erupts in Reykjanes Peninsula, Prompts Evacuation in Blue Lagoon (Watch Video).
