Iceland's Volcanic Threat: Town Evacuated, State of Emergency Declared

Experts predict that a volcanic eruption in Iceland could heavily damage the town of Grindavik, located near the capital Reykjavik. The town has been evacuated after hundreds of earthquakes were detected, indicating an imminent eruption. The magma is currently at a shallow depth, and an eruption is expected within hours or days. The most likely scenario is a fissure opening near Grindavik, but an eruption on the ocean floor is also possible. The volcanic activity has already caused damage to infrastructure and roads. Iceland has declared a state of emergency and ordered mandatory evacuations.
