Live: Volcano erupts in southwest Iceland

A volcano has erupted in the Grindavík area of south west Iceland this morning (14 January), days after residents were ordered to leave when volcanic fissures began opening on nearby roads. The order is expected to be in place for at least three weeks which will cause a lot of disruption, particularly as Grindavík plays home to the iconic Blue Lagoon tourist attraction. Authorities will be able to return on behalf of residents in ’exceptional circumstances’ to retrieve belongings.
