TL;DR Summary

A volcano in Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula erupted for the fourth time since December, spewing smoke and bright orange lava into the air. The eruption, which occurred with only 15 minutes' warning, has not posed an immediate threat to infrastructure or the nearby fishing town of Grindavik. Man-made barriers have successfully directed the lava away from the town and a geothermal power plant. The volcanic activity has been relatively stable, and hazardous gases are unlikely to reach the capital, Reykjavik, due to strong winds.
