Iceland declares a state of emergency as its Grindavik volcano erupts for the fourth time since November. The lava fissure opened and flows towards the town, causing residents to return after being evacuated in February. The Reykjanes Peninsula experiences fissure eruptions, which typically do not cause large explosions or significant ash dispersal, but scientists fear they could continue for decades. Iceland averages an eruption every four to five years.
