For the fifth time since December, a volcanic eruption sent lava toward the seaside town of Grindavik and the nearby Blue Lagoon geothermal spa.
After three years of fiery eruptions, experts are now confident that Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula has entered a new fiery phase.
Inflation seems to have started in Svartsengi, although the end of the eruption at Sund-hnúkagígar is nowhere to be seen. More magma flows into the magma chamber under Svartsengi, than is flowing out of it and the inflow is not decreasing.
Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir says it is not possible to answer whether the government will buy out the apartments of the residents of Grindavík at this time. She said she anticipates a special law on the situation in Grindavík.
The evacuated town of Grindavik, 25 miles south west of Reykjavik, saw three homes destroyed amid what President Gudni Johannesson said was a 'tremendous force of nature'.
