Original title: Icelandic volcano erupts magma up to 80 meters high.
Another volcanic eruption occurred near the town of Grindavik on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland on the 8th, the third volcanic eruption in the region since December last year.
According to the Icelandic Meteorological Service, the intense activity began at around 5:30 local time on the 8th, about 4 kilometers northeast of the town of Grindavik, and the volcano erupted about half an hour later.
The Icelandic Meteorological Service said that the fissure caused by volcanic activity is about 3 kilometers long and that magma is flowing westward. The eruption that day is believed to be in the same spot as the eruption on December 18 last year.
The scene** showed bright orange magma ejecting from cracks in the ground up to 80 meters high, contrasting with the night and filling the air with smoke.
The operator of Keflavik International Airport, located on the Reykjanes Peninsula, said the airport is operating normally.
Icelandic geophysicist Ali Treyisti Gwizmensson told Reuters that the site of the eruption on the 8th is some distance from the town of Grindavik and is unlikely to pose a direct threat, "but it may have some impact on the surrounding roads leading to the town and power plants, depending on how much magma eventually flows out of the ground."
The current eruption is a fissure eruption, which usually does not cause large or large amounts of ash to spread into the stratosphere. The first two eruptions occurred on December 18 last year and January 14 this year, respectively, and due to the early evacuation of local residents, no ** people died. However, a series of ** and volcanic activity caused cracks in the local streets and some houses were set on fire.
Iceland is located in the volcanic active zone of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, with many volcanoes, frequent geological activities and abundant geothermal resources.
