Emergency declared in Iceland after third volcanic eruption

Risk of volcanic eruption in Iceland remains high

A state of emergency has been declared in Iceland following a massive volcanic eruption, marking the third eruption in a row. The eruption occurred in southwestern Iceland, specifically on the Reykjanes peninsula, and has had significant implications for residents and tourists alike.

The eruption, which took place yesterday around 6 in the morning, resulted in hot lava being flung into the sky, causing damage to a critical hot water and heat supply pipeline. As a result, thousands of people have been left without access to these essential resources, further compounded by freezing temperatures that add to the challenges faced by affected individuals.
