Volcanic Eruption Near Reykjavik Marks Tenth Eruption in Three Years

Iceland’s Reykjanes peninsula has erupted for the tenth time in three years, emitting lava and smoke. Despite the activity, the eruptions have not severely impacted Reykjavik and are unlikely to disrupt air traffic significantly. Authorities continue to monitor the seismic hotspot, while the nearby town of Grindavik remains evacuated due to ongoing volcanic threats. Scientists predict that volcanic activity in the region may persist for decades to come, but it is not expected to reach the disruptive levels seen during the 2010 Eyjafjallajokull eruption.
