Volcanic Eruption Near Reykjavik Marks Tenth in Three Years

A volcano near Reykjavik, Iceland, erupted late Wednesday, marking the tenth eruption in three years and the seventh in the past year. The geological activity on the Reykjanes Peninsula follows a series of warnings from authorities due to accumulating magma underground. Although the eruptions do not directly affect the capital and have not caused significant ash dispersion, the threat remains for nearby areas such as the village of GrindavĂ­k, which is largely deserted due to periodic threats from lava flows. Experts anticipate continued eruptions for decades.
