A volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwestern Iceland has erupted for the seventh time since December, spewing lava from a fissure. The eruption began suddenly at 11:14 p.m. on Wednesday, creating a fissure approximately 3 kilometers long. However, it was noted to be smaller in scale compared to the previous eruption in August, according to Iceland's meteorological office.
Professor Magnús Tumi Guðmundsson, a geophysics expert, mentioned that this eruption is relatively smaller than previous ones. While the eruption does not pose a threat to air travel, authorities have cautioned about gas emissions affecting parts of the peninsula, including the town of Grindavík.
