Tourists warned to stay away from erupting volcano in Iceland due to spewing lava, noxious gases
Fox News
A volcano erupted in Iceland on July 10 after thousands of earthquakes in the area. Tourists are being told to stay away from the volcano because it is spewing lava and noxious gases.
The area, known broadly as Fagradalsfjall volcano, erupted in 2021 and 2022 without causing damage or disruptions to flights, despite being near Keflavik Airport, Iceland’s international air traffic hub. The airport remained open on Tuesday.
The Icelandic Meteorological Office said the eruption was initially more explosive than the previous two. Aerial footage showed streams of orange molten lava and clouds of gases spewing from a snaking fissure about half a mile long.
