Iceland's Volcano Eruption: Receding After Devastating Town Fires

TL;DR Summary
A volcano in southwest Iceland, which erupted for the second time in less than a month, appeared less active on Monday, but the risk of new fissures opening without warning remains. Lava flows reached the outskirts of the town of Grindavik, causing fires and prompting evacuations. Defensive barriers helped divert the lava away from the town, but residents expressed concern about the future of their community. The Icelandic government is set to meet to discuss support for the affected people.
