Volcano Eruption in Iceland: Evacuation Underway in Grindavik As Volcano Erupts for 7th Time This Year (See Pics and Videos)

A volcanic eruption occurred late Wednesday, November 20, in southwest Iceland, marking the seventh eruption since December, according to the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO). The eruption took place at the Sundhnuksgigar volcanic fissure near the town of Grindavik, with live videos showing lava flowing from the fissure against a dark orange sky. Despite no immediate threat to infrastructure, Grindavik, a small fishing town, is being evacuated as a precaution. The eruption follows increased seismic activity in the region, which has seen heightened volcanic unrest, a hotspot for eruptions given Iceland’s 33 active volcanoes. Volcano Eruption in Iceland: State of Emergency Declared After Sundhnukur Volcano Erupts in Grindavik Following Earthquakes (See Pics and Videos).
