"Iceland Volcano Erupts, Forcing Evacuations and Spewing Lava"
TL;DR
A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted for the fifth time since late last year, spewing lava toward Grindavik and potentially being the most vigorous eruption in the area to date. The eruption caused significant damage to local infrastructure, and gas pollution could affect Reykjavik. The area, including the Blue Lagoon spa, was evacuated, and the eruption followed a series of recent earthquakes.
