"Iceland's Ongoing Volcanic Eruptions: A Visual Journey"
TL;DR Summary
Iceland has declared a state of emergency after a volcano erupted for the fourth time in three months, with a fissure almost 2 miles long opening on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Lava continues to flow from the fissure, moving at an average speed of about 39 feet per hour and threatening the main road on the southern coast. The eruption has led to the evacuation of the popular Blue Lagoon thermal spa and the temporary closure of all operational units. No flights have been disrupted, and no deaths have been confirmed, although one worker is reported missing after falling into a volcanic fissure.
