Iceland Volcano Threat: Evacuation and Pollution Concerns Rise

Iceland is on high alert as officials record over 1,700 tremors within 24 hours, indicating a potential volcanic eruption. The largest tremor was recorded near Grindavík, southwest Iceland, with a magnitude of 2.8. Magma flow has been detected under the surface, passing directly under the town and to its north. Residents of Grindavík, who were previously evacuated, are now allowed to return with permission. However, the risk of eruption remains high, and a rescue route has been established for their safety.
