A volcano near Iceland's capital, Reykjavik, has erupted for the third time in two years. This latest eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula follows a week of intense earthquake activity in the area. While local media footage showed a massive cloud of smoke and a substantial flow of lava, officials from the country's meteorological office have described the eruption as "small" and state that there is no immediate danger to people in the region or flights from the city. The volcano is located in a volcanic and seismic hotspot, and prior to these three eruptions, it had been inactive for over 6,000 years. At the moment, no ash has been emitted, and there have been no disruptions reported at the country's main airport. Experts from the Icelandic Meteorological Office will continue to monitor the eruption and assess its development over the coming hours and days.
