The second volcanic eruption in just a few weeks has begun in Iceland. In live footage from Icelandic radio station RÚV, glowing red lava bubbled from a long fissure in the earth on the Reykjanes Peninsula southwest of Reykjavik on Sunday morning for the first time since mid-December.
A few hours before the eruption, Iceland’s weather authority Vedurstofa recorded another intense series of earthquakes with more than 200 tremors. The initially most violent of these had a magnitude of 3.5 early in the morning. The agency warned that magma was moving beneath the Earth’s surface and that the chance of an eruption was high.
The last time an eruption occurred in the area was in the late evening of December 18, when lava initially bubbled from a mile-long fissure in the earth. However, the eruption, the fourth on the peninsula in three years, decreased significantly in intensity within a few days. Even before Christmas, lava was no longer visible on the Earth’s surface.
