The fourth volcanic eruption since December occurred on Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula yesterday. It was reported that the lava reached the east of the town of Grindavik, which was evacuated after an explosion last year. An emergency was declared in the southern part of the peninsula.
Scientists believe that Iceland, which is located between the two largest tectonic plates in the world, the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, and has 32 active volcanoes, has entered a new volcanic period that may last for years or even centuries.
