Drone footage shows Iceland volcano eruption’s damage on Grindavík

On Jan. 14, Iceland's Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted for the second time since December, when intense seismic activity prompted evacuations in the nearby town of Grindavík.

Following the new eruption, an earth crack opened around 450 meters from the town and lava from the fissure reached Grindavík, destroying several houses and damaging some local infrastructure. At the time of the eruption, residents had been evacuated, and the prompt assembly of protective barriers stopped the lava from inflicting further damage on the town.

Though the volcanic activity seemed to settle down post-eruption, the Iceland Met Office (IMO) warned on Jan. 17 that magma is still accumulating below the surface, making eruptions through the fresh fissures still a possibility.

They need to move that town no other way around it. Would be cheaper than building Lava Tub's than you don't have to worry about Lava.

Town: "We have to build a wall to stop the lava! :

Town: "Yay it worked great work guy's "

Mother Nature: " Hold my beer...."

Mother Nature makes a new Lava pit

I feel for those folks... That town is pretty much done for for at least a few years I'd say... I certainly wouldn't feel safe living there...
