1:35Now PlayingAnother volcanic eruption has started for the fifth time since December on the Reykjanes peninsula in southwestern Iceland, the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) said on Wednesday.
Shortly after authorities evacuated the nearby town of Grindavik. IMO reported that an eruption has started near Sundhnuksgigar, north of Grindavik.
Following an earthquake in the area, a state of emergency had been declared leading to the evacuation of the famous geothermal Blue Lagoon spa and the small fishing town of Grindavik, according to Icelandic Public Broadcaster RUV.
New data by IMO has registered a clear increase in seismic activity in recent hours near Sundhnuksgigar on the Reykjanes peninsula around 11:40 GMT.
Volcanologist Benedikt Ofeigsson told RUV that the fissure is currently longer than “2.5km (1.5 miles)” in length and continuing to grow.
The lava jets are reaching a height of “at least 50 metres and the length of the crater appears to be 2.5km and still growing" IMO said in a statement.
