Iceland's Volcanic Activity Intensifies with Latest Eruption

A volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula erupted for the seventh time since December, with a 3-kilometer fissure forming. The eruption, which began late Wednesday, did not disrupt air traffic and was smaller than the previous one in August. The Blue Lagoon and nearby facilities were evacuated, but the town of Grindavík remains safe from lava flow. Iceland, located on a geologic border, is one of the world's most active volcanic regions.
