Reykjavik News: On the evening of the 18th local time, a volcano erupted on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland, and no injuries have been reported.
According to the Associated Press and Iceland's "ice news", the eruption volcano is about 4 kilometers away from the town of Grindavik, and the specific location has not yet been confirmed. Surveillance** showed that the volcano erupted at 10:17 p.m. that night, and a flash of light illuminated the sky, sending magma spewing along the ridge. According to the report, this is the fourth volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula in three years.
The Icelandic Meteorological Service issued a statement in the early morning of the 19th, saying that the latest measurements show that the magma is moving to the southwest and may continue to develop in the direction of Grindavik Town. The magnitude of the eruption and the speed of the lava flow "are several times higher than previous eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula in recent years," the statement said.
According to local ** reports, no injuries or major losses have been reported at this time. **The area near the eruptive volcano has been cordoned off and scientists are on site assessing the intensity and potential impact of volcanic activity. Residents and visitors are advised to stay informed and follow safety guidelines.
The Reykjanes Peninsula is known for its volcanic landscapes and active geothermal landscapes. Recently, there has been a marked increase in local** activity. Threatened by a potential underground magma eruption, the town of Grindavik declared a state of emergency last month, with about 4,000 residents evacuated.
