A volcano in Iceland erupts again, causing evacuations and property damage but no threat to air travel.

A volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula erupted for the seventh time in a year, creating a 3 km fissure and prompting evacuations in Grindavík and the Blue Lagoon resort. The eruption, smaller than previous ones, does not threaten air travel but has caused gas emissions and property damage. The region, known for frequent volcanic activity due to its position on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, had been dormant for 800 years before recent eruptions began in 2021.
