Volcano erupts in Iceland spewing lava from the ground

A volcanic eruption has occurred near Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. This is the 12th such event in the country since 2021. The eruption has resulted in lava spewing from the ground, though there have been no reports of any injuries or significant damage so far. The eruption is taking place in a relatively remote area, situated approximately 30 kilometers from Reykjavik. Authorities have advised the public to avoid the immediate vicinity of the eruption site as a precautionary measure. However, the eruption is not expected to significantly disrupt daily life or air travel in the region. Iceland is known for its volcanic activity, with the country situated on the boundary of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Volcanic eruptions are a common occurrence in the island nation, and the recent event is the latest in a series of such incidents over the past year.
