"Unprecedented Volcanic Eruption Cuts Off Hot Water in Iceland"
TL;DR
The Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland experienced its third volcanic eruption since December, with lava streams reaching up to 80 meters high and causing a state of emergency as it cut off hot water access for over 20,000 people. The eruption also affected the Blue Lagoon spa and Keflavik Airport, with authorities warning of potential power outages and the need for emergency measures.
