Iceland volcano erupts for fifth time shooting lava 50m into air

A volcanic eruption has begun on the Reykjanes peninsula in south-western Iceland sending plumes of lava 50 metres into the air.

The eruptions occurred near Grindavik, the fishing town near the famous Blue Lagoon. The eruption was the fifth to occur on the peninsula since December. Most of the 4,000 residents of Grindavík were permanently evacuated in November.

Much love to the wonderful people of Iceland. Stay safe, keep well.

The magma has been collecting for a while and was expected to erupt but not sure where. Spectacular for us lookers on but not so funny if you live there

[keywestalert]

We all know you wanted to title it with the word shooting in it. Iceland and shooting do not go in the same sentence.

Strange? Who's firing the lazers?

[MariTeabag-lfly]

Somebody turn that off! It’s damaging the atmosphere.

Where's Greta ? Couldn't she put that fire out with her ECO tears ?

So much for electric cars lol this is an amazing amount of co2 helping the planet green up nicely

Surprised 👍🏻berg isn't there calling the volcano names for polluting.

We will have bad weather for a few yrs .14 active volcanoes in the world. Is the WEF and WHO going to tax Iceland more ????

[lingxianglu]

Seems everyone's European vacation is gonna be cancelled for this summer

[chrissmith]

The environmentalists will have kittens

Where's Gretta? Thought she would be there complaining about greenhouse gasses.😊

[nicholasviney]

If only we taxed more people with green policies we could have stopped this, there goes all the co2 savings for the next 100 years.

Looks like they're going to have to cancel all flights in the northern hemisphere again.

[MattSmith-rmfk]

Where's all the climate protesters telling it to stop lol

[soulstep]

Climate change is to blame. If we just stop doing anything and stay in a small place like the village in 6ts tv show this would not happen. What’s wrong we must act now just like the politicians. Do.

[nowhere]

It's almost like it's coordinated with the current SOLAR FLARING

[scottyk]

Just what are the Icelandic government going to do about all that greenhouse gas? Selfish disregard for net zero targets. 😡😡😡
