Icelandic volcano near Grindavik erupts for third time in two months.

An Icelandic volcano near the town of Grindavik erupted for the third time in less than two months, according to the country's Meteorological Office. This is the most recent eruption in a series of events on the Reykjanes Peninsula over the past year. While the most recent eruption poses no immediate threat to the Grindavik town or a nearby power plant, it has led to the evacuation of the popular Blue Lagoon geothermal spa. This volcanic activity is not uncommon for Iceland, which sits above a volcanic hot spot in the North Atlantic and is home to over 30 active volcanoes.
