Authorities in Iceland have declared a state of emergency after a series of earthquakes rocked the Reykjanes peninsula in the south-west of the country, raising fears of a volcanic eruption in the region.
"The head of the national police force (...) has declared a state of emergency for civil defence due to intense seismic activity in Sundhnjukagigar, north of Grindavik," the civil defence authority said in a statement late Friday.
"The earthquakes may become more significant" and "this series of events could lead to an eruption", the administration warned.
