YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Authorities in Iceland say lava from a volcano that erupted early on Sunday appears to have eased. The flow of molten rock destroyed several homes in the small fishing town of Grindavik, as well as its electricity and hot water supply. Excavators have been clearing the main road after lava flowed over it.

The town was evacuated on Saturday so there is no immediate danger to life. Grindavik is around 40 kilometers southwest of the capital Reykjavik.

For more on this, we talk to Oddur Thordarson, who reports for the Icelandic National Broadcaster RUV News.
