Red lava spews from a volcano near Iceland's capital Reykjavik. The eruption of a fissure near Mount Fagradalsfjall, which began late Friday, is the first in the same volcanic system in about 900 years. IMAGES
Aerial images show lava near the Icelandic fishing town of Grindavik as volcanic activity eases following an eruption which began early Sunday. Grindavik's 4,000 residents had been evacuated in November as a precaution. Shortly after a December 18 eruption, they were allowed to return for brief periods. They were authorised to regain their homes permanently on December 23 but only a few dozen chose to do so. IMAGES
Lava continues to spew out of a volcanic fissure in Fagradalsfjall, Iceland, around 40 kilometres from the capital Reykjavik, a week after the beginning of the eruption. IMAGES
The eruption is around 40 kilometres (25 miles) from Reykjavik, near the site of the Mount Fagradalsfjall volcano in southwestern Iceland that erupted for six months in March-September 2021, mesmerising tourists and spectators who flocked to the scene. IMAGES
People watch in awe as lava spews out of a volcanic fissure in the Geldingadalir volcano in Iceland. The volcano erupted near the capital Reykjavik, spewing red hot lava and plumes of smoke out of a fissure in an uninhabited valley after several days of intense seismic activity. IMAGES
Iceland's spectacular, two-week old volcanic eruption enters a new phase as a fresh fissure opened up and begun spitting out lava, footage from the coastguard shows. The 200-metre long fissure, is a kilometre from the first eruption, which sits in the Geldingadalur valley, said an Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) statement. IMAGES
