Iceland has declared a state of emergency after a massive volcano erupted for the fourth time in three months, opening a nearly 2-mile-long fissure on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The volcanic eruptions had slowed but had not ended, with a 9-mile-long magma tunnel beneath the ground causing long and narrow fissures to release lava, ash, and smoke. No flights have been disrupted, and no deaths have been confirmed, but one worker is reported missing after walking near the volcanic fissure.

The cause of the explosion is unknown, and authorities said there's no danger to people who live in the area and no concerns about the air quality.
