Un volcán hace erupción en la península Reykjanes de Islandia
December 19, 2023 - nvolcáno hizo erupción la noche del lunes en el suroeste de Islandia, lanzando lava y humo por una extensa área después de semanas de intensa actividad sísmica.
The eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula started late on Monday about 4km northeast of the fishing town of Grindavik.
Authorities last month evacuated the nearly 4,000 inhabitants of the town and closed the nearby Blue Lagoon geothermal spa.
Lava from the eruption appeared to flow away from Grindavik, offering hope that homes would be spared, geologists and rescue officials said on Tuesday, according to Reuters.
