Sundhnúkur volcano erupts in Iceland | WATCH

(AP) Lava continued to spew from a volcano in southwestern Iceland on Friday — the sixth time since December the volcano has erupted on the Reykjanes Peninsula.

The eruption from a new fissure began shortly after 9 p.m. Thursday following a series of strong earthquakes and within the hour a 4-kilometer (2.4-mile) fissure cut through the Sundhnúkur crater.

Iceland authorities say the eruption’s effects remain localized with road closures but do not threaten the population.

It would be amazing to see that in person. I finally got to see the Northern Lights a few months ago in that huge solar storm. One thing off the bucket list.

I only feel sorry for the Sea Life and for all other Animals who will be burnt to death. God bless and protect them all!

I'm surprised the Sundhnukur eruption wasn't blasted all over social media as yet another human-caused disaster.

His car? Why did he put the bear cub in his car trunk?

Why did he pickup a killed little bear from the road after it was struck by a car?

At least another place to visit in Iceland.

The key statement, "At the moment." Only God Almighty, the eternal Creator, knows what will happen tomorrow.
