A volcano south of Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, erupted on Tuesday, marking the 11th such event since 2021.
The eruption, a vibrant display of lava and smoke, prompted evacuations of areas around Sunddhnúksgígar, including the popular Blue Lagoon spa and the fishing town of Grindavik.
A red alert has been issued for the area, which has been rattled by hundreds of small earthquakes.
About 40 homes in Grindavik were occupied at the time of the evacuation, according to reports from RUV, citing local police.
While emergency services took precautionary measures, air traffic has so far been unaffected.
Iceland, known for its contrasting landscapes of ice and fire, has experienced a resurgence of volcanic activity on the Reykjanes peninsula in recent years.
