The length of the fissure in the volcano is about 3.5 km, and the lava flows out at a speed of 100 to 200 cubic meters per second.
In the southwest of Iceland, on the Reykjanes Peninsula, after several weeks of strong earthquakes, a volcano began to erupt. The BBC reported it.
About four thousand people were evacuated from the city of Grindovik. Geothermal resorts located near the volcano are closed.
It is known that the explosion started in the north of the city yesterday evening, December 18.
According to the Icelandic Meteorological Service, the length of the fissure in the volcano is about 3.5 km, and the lava flows out at a speed of 100 to 200 cubic meters per second.
The region around the capital Reykjavik has experienced increased seismic activity since late October. In late fall, Icelandic authorities began building protective walls for Grindavik.
Let’s remember that this summer recorded in Iceland the eruption of the volcano Fagradalsfjall, located 40 km from Reykjavik, the capital of the country.
It was also reported that more than 20 people died due to the eruption of a volcano in Indonesia.
