A volcano in Iceland has erupted for the second time in a month, spewing lava towards the town of Grindavik as residents were evacuated from their homes.

Molten rock flowed to within 450 metres of the town, a settlement of 3,800 people on the Reykjanes peninsula in the southwest of the country, according to the Icelandic Meteorological Office.
