Iceland's Fourth Volcanic Eruption in 3 Months Triggers State of Emergency

TL;DR Summary
A volcano in Iceland has erupted for the fourth time in three months, spewing orange jets of lava into the night sky and opening a fissure about 3 kilometers long. Hundreds of people were evacuated from the Blue Lagoon thermal spa, and Grindavik, a coastal town, was also evacuated. No flight disruptions were reported at nearby Keflavik airport, and Iceland, experienced in dealing with eruptions, is seeing lava flowing towards defensive barriers around Grindavik.
