Volcanic eruption in Iceland: lava flow destroys houses in Grindavík. "Today is a black day for the whole of Iceland": A new volcanic eruption on the North Atlantic island has caused severe damage to the evacuated town. And lava continues to flow from two elongated cracks in the earth. The last time an eruption occurred in the area was late in the evening of 18 December, when lava first gushed out of a fissure. However, the eruption decreased significantly in intensity within a few days.
