Authorities say a volcano in the southwest of the country is erupting just eight months after its last eruption.

The Fagradalsfjall volcano, located 32 kilometers southwest of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, has reawakened. This was reported by the Icelandic Meteorological Office, AP wrote.

A volcano in southwest Iceland began erupting on Wednesday, August 3, just eight months after its last eruption southwest of the capital Reykjavik.

The explosion occurred in an uninhabited valley near Keflavik Airport, Iceland’s international air hub. The airport remained open, flights were not interrupted.

A live video feed from the site showed magma spewing from a narrow fissure 100 to 200 meters long above a lava field after last year’s eruption, the first on the Reykjanes peninsula in nearly 800 years.

Scientists expect an eruption somewhere on the peninsula after a series of earthquakes last week that point to volcanic activity near the earth’s crust.

The 2021 eruption in the same area produced spectacular lava flows for several months. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered to watch this breathtaking spectacle.

We remind you, in February in Italy on the island of Sicily there was an eruption of the Etna volcano. This is the second sharp increase in volcanic activity in 2022. The ash cloud reached a height of about 10 km above sea level.
