of iceland, which is a country that was created by lava flows. iceland sits right on top of the mid—atlantic rift, meaning there is two different tectonic plates, the giant underpinnings of the earth. they come together and the reason why items created is that lava comes out through the cracks in the tectonic plates. we were reporting earlier that people have been evacuated from their homes — is it likely that as the molten lava potentially school breaks, there will be more evacuations? have been more warnings to people in the area? no, there aren't any more people, really, in the area, grindavik is the largest town in that area, of 3,700. most of the people have already left, many of them are living in reykjavik, or near the airport in keflavik. even the schools have moved, the schoolchildren are going to schools in reykjavik. the city administration has moved to reykjavik. you have the city

we are getting from the town in iceland, grindavik. it is getting darker, but you can still see the eruption of a volcano, and in the south—west town of grindavik. seismic activity has intensified overnight. all the people living in that area have now left. hello there. it's been a very cold week, pretty much wherever you are, but things are set to turn even colder for this upcoming week, thanks to arctic northerlies, which will feed in plenty of wintry showers around all coastal areas, particularly ones facing the north, especially northern scotland, and nights will be very cold with severe frost and ice to watch out for. those arctic northerlies are already across northern scotland feeding in snow showers and will continue to extend southwards as we move through the rest of sunday to the first part of monday. it is going to be turning colder

but this time it's much closer to the town. thankfully, people living in homes nearby have already left the area. the local authorities have declared an emergency. grindavik lies some a0 kilometres from iceland's capital, reykjavik. with more on this, let's speak to our reporter meghan owen who is following in the story. we've seen the pictures there, buildings on fire, how wise is the extent of the spread of the molten lava? what more do we know about damage caused?— lava? what more do we know about damage caused? yes, the pictures are incredibly striking, _ damage caused? yes, the pictures are incredibly striking, it _ damage caused? yes, the pictures are incredibly striking, it has _ damage caused? yes, the pictures are incredibly striking, it has been - incredibly striking, it has been more and more turbulence throughout the day, so we have been following this from around 8am, when eight fissure started to erupt. actually, what more concerning was a second fissure which develops or opens closer to the town, and it has now reached that time, we saw pictures of houses burning, and on fire, and

whojoined from me iceland. in grindavik, the earthquakes began again and that led to an evacuation, as you mentioned. and the second fissure has opened up even closer to the town. initially, it was that the lava flow was about half a kilometre from the town, and we were just watching live video from helicopters, and the live camera of the first house being engulfed by the lava. it's about two kilometres from the harbour. the 3,700 residents of grindavik are safely out, but the area has been declared dangerous — not only is there lava, but the ground is unstable and there are dangerous gases as well, they always accompany volcanic eruptions. the trouble is that this is a bit of a guessing game, because the geologists are very honest about the fact that they're doing some guess—timations.

administration in reykjavik. iceland is a country that is remarkably well prepared for these sorts of disasters. in the last few hours... frederik the tenth has become the new king of denmark. as he assumed the throne he was greeted by tens of thousands of people who gathered in the danish capital, copenhagen. you can see him here as he stepped out to greet crowds from the balcony of christiansborg palace. after being proclaimed by the prime minister, he was then joined by his australian—born wife queen mary. the crown passed to frederik x after his mother, queen margarethe signed the instrument of abdication after more than 50 years on the throne. queen margrethe, who's 83, has now left christiansborg castle and is the first danish monarch

we don't know how far under the town the lava is flowing, but it's very unstable as an area. however, the international airport at keflavik, which is 27 kilometres away, is not at risk. just a bit more about the geography of grindavik, we were saying it's about a0 away from the capital, how far we know the molten lava has spread, do we have an idea of how extensive the damage it could cause is so far? we don't know, because there is love that we see on the surface, and there is lava that we see underneath the service. the problem is that the peninsula in the south—west of iceland, the reykjanes peninsula, is one of the most volcanic areas
