Iceland volcano update: State of emergency as flowing lava threatens region

Iceland has declared a state of emergency after a volcano erupted for the fourth time since December on the Reykjanes Peninsula, spewing bright orange lava high into the air.

The eruption has sent fountains of molten rock soaring from a 3km long fissure, with lava now flowing just a few hundred meters from Grindavik, which was first evacuated back in November.
