Residents of the Icelandic town of Grindavík fear they may not be able to return to their homes after a second volcanic eruption on the island in a month – destroying several homes and damaging water and electricituy supplies
Residents of Grindavik managed to escape just hours before a flow of orange lava burst from a crack in the ground just 200 metres away and entered the town, consuming three homes. The town, with a population of 4,000, was evacuated ahead of an eruption on 18 December but dozens of residents had returned before facing leaving their homes for a second time.
