A volcanic eruption took place on Monday (Dec. 18) on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, weeks after thousands of small quakes hit the southwest coast.
The latest eruption began at 10:17 pm, with the exact location being Sundahnúkagígar, around 3 km north of the town Grindavik. As the eruption spread, magma, or semi-molten rock, could be seen spewing along the ridge of a hill.
