Iceland on High Alert as Volcano Threatens Eruption

Icelandic officials have evacuated the town of Grindavik due to an imminent volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Cracks in the earth, steam, and seismic activity indicate that magma is likely to reach the surface soon. The Icelandic Meteorological Office has warned of a "significant likelihood" of an eruption in the coming days. The intrusion of magma beneath Grindavik is estimated to be about 10 miles long, and earthquakes continue to rattle the region. This volcanic activity follows previous eruptions in the area, including the Fagradalsfjall volcano in 2021.
