Fishing town harmed after Iceland spring of gushing lava emits _ BBC News
Molten lava from a volcano in Iceland’s southwest has consumed several houses in the fishing town of Grindavik.
Drone footage showed the black lava flow snaking toward the town after the volcano erupted for the second time in less than a month.
The eruption came just hours after authorities evacuated the town’s 3,800 residents following a swarm of small earthquakes.
President Gudni Th. Johannesson said that the country is battling “tremendous forces of nature.”
Scientists later said that the eruption appeared to be dying down, but that it was too soon to declare the danger over.
Iceland, which sits above a volcanic hot spot in the North Atlantic, averages one eruption every four to five years.
