1:24Now PlayingIceland’s Met Office reported a new volcanic eruption in the country’s southwestern Reykjanes peninsula early on February 8, north of the evacuated town of Grindavik, where several buildings were destroyed by lava in January.
According to the Icelandic Meteorological Office, the eruption occurred northeast of the Sylingarfell mountain at around 5:30 am on Thursday morning.
Mesmerizing drone footage recorded by Hordur Kristleifsson captured the fiery landscape at dawn, with Kristleifsson saying, “Everyone is safe and lava is not heading towards Grindavik.”
Iceland’s national broadcaster RUV also said there was no immediate threat to the town of Grindavik, or the nearby geothermal power plant.
The eruptive fissure was said to be about 3 km long, with lava flows being “slightly less” than during an initial eruption on December 18, the met office said.
