Headline: RAW VIDEO: Icelandic Volcano Erupts For Fourth Time Since December
Caption: These spectacular scenes show the volcano on Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula erupting for the fourth time in just a few months on Sunday (17March2024). The country's meteorological office has officially confirmed this event as the fourth eruption to occur in Iceland since December, marking a period of heightened seismic activity in the region. The eruption, which commenced with lava forcefully spewing into the air, adds to a series of geological events that have kept southern Icelanders on edge in recent months. During the February eruption, more than 20,000 individuals found themselves grappling with the abrupt loss of heating as a result of the volcanic activity. Several roads, essential for connectivity across the volcanic island nation, were rendered impassable due to the molten lava flows. Additionally, February’s eruption prompted the evacuation of thousands of residents in villages in the immediate vicinity of the volcanic activity. Reykjavik's airport continues to operate, with fears of the disruption caused by the 2010 eruption of the volcano Eyjafjallajökull on the island, which disrupted air travel across western Europe, yet to materialise.
