A volcanic eruption restarted in Iceland, with lava flow threatening the already severely damaged fishing town Grindavik. An eruption — the eighth on the same volcanic rift since late 2023 — started at 9:45am yesterday “just north of the protective barrier by Grindavik,” the Met Office said in a statement.

Earthquakes and massive cracks have severely damaged Grindavik, a fishing town that once housed around 1% of Iceland’s population.
