Well, if we head to Iceland next, where a volcano has erupted following weeks of intense earthquake activity. This is the moment of the eruption captured by a webcam from the Icelandic broadcaster, RUV. You can see the red-hot lava starting to erupt from the ground, shooting up like a fountain. The Icelandic Coast Guard then flew over the area in a helicopter, capturing these images of the lava erupting and spewing across the landscape. The authorities have already evacuated nearly 4,000 inhabitants of the fishing town of Grindivik. The area is a volcanic and seismic hotspot southwest of the capital. So if we have a look now at what's happening as we speak, these are live pictures. It is just past six o'clock local time in Iceland. Well, Hal Grimje, Indridauson is a journalist at the Icelandic Public Broadcaster, RUV, who described how this eruption unfolded.

This started just after 10:00 last night, and an hour before then, some more intense earthquakes started and they were shallow. But still, it caught scientists a bit by surprise, although the seismic activity that had happened previously, it had made the tunnel for the lava underneath the surface. So it was expected that it would be unexpected. But this seems that you are seeing this is the fourth eruption in the Reikoness Peninsula in almost three years, and this is by far the strongest one according to geologists. The lava flow is more intense. It's more powerful, although it has diminished a bit in the last few hours since it started. But of course, the most important and maybe the most dangerous thing is that this eruption is much closer to Grintawik than the previous eruptions.

Yeah, I'm just reading. It's about four kilometers away from Grindavik where this eruption has taken place, and actually, the activity is now moving towards the town.

Yeah, it's moving in both ways, both the south and the north, and the movement is maybe more powerful in the north, which is away from it. But geologists and the scientists are taking a very close look at this because worst-case scenario, the flow in the south towards Green David will increase and at some point, the lava flow will reach the put down.

Presumably, there's nothing that can be done about this in terms of trying to maneuver it elsewhere or prevent it. It's very powerful. You can't really stop this, can you?

Well, you could always try fortification and cations, excuse me, and that is something that has been done to prevent critical infrastructure like the power plant that is just north of Grindawick. The fortification started after the earthquake took place and they were just about finishing it when the eruption started. That is a way, but the risk is that it will only slow down the flow. The big question is, how intense will it be and how long will it last? That is something nobody knows.

Yeah, so we are keeping a close eye on that as that unfolds. Hal Greimutr in Dredersen there from RUV, telling us the latest.
