First an earthquake and now a volcanic eruption is underway
in southwest Iceland.
Look at these visuals, hot lava and smoke spewing into
the air.
It is not unexpected after several weeks of seismic activity
in the area.
The eruption is less than two miles from the town
of Grindevique,
which was already evacuated and according to Icelandic authorities,
cracks in the ground now stretched toward the town.
The nearby Blue Lagoon geothermal spa,
popular with tourists, was also shut down weeks ago.
