Iceland's Reykjanes Volcano Erupts for Seventh Time This Year
TL;DR
A volcano near Iceland's capital erupted for the seventh time in a year, creating a fissure nearly two miles long, but causing no disruptions to air traffic or infrastructure. The eruption, smaller than previous ones, occurred with little warning and led to the evacuation of some residents near the Reykjanes peninsula. Despite the frequent eruptions, experts suggest that the area will continue to experience volcanic activity for decades.
