Fox News
A volcano in southwest Iceland on the Reykjanes peninsula erupted on Dec. 18, 2023, and images of the eruption show lava spewing from fissures along the ground.
The volcano is located about 3 km north of the fishing town of Grindavik, which has a population of less than 4,000 people. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
Reuters reported that authorities evacuated the inhabitants of Grindavik and closed the nearby Blue Lagoon geothermal spa out of fear of a significant outbreak on the Reykjanes peninsula. Story tips and can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
