A volcano has erupted in the southwestern part of Iceland. The volcano is sending semi-molten rock spewing toward a nearby settlement for the third time in recent weeks.
Iceland`s Meteorological Office said the volcano eruption began after an intense burst of seismic activity at 5:30 am local time on Thursday. A Coast Guard surveillance flight report suggested the volcano erupted in the same area of the volcano eruption of December last year.
