    Volcanic eruption follows weeks of tremors in Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula

    Volcanic eruption follows weeks of tremors in Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula

    A volcanic eruption in the vicinity of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, is producing plumes of smoke that spread across the region, which is renowned for its expansive lava fields, volcanoes, and geothermal features, CNN reports.

    The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) reported that the eruption, classified as "minor," commenced on Monday in the Reykjanes Peninsula. Thus far, no ash emissions or disruptions have been recorded at Keflavik Airport, the country's main international gateway.

    The IMO stated that a 200-meter-long (656 feet) fissure has opened on the slopes of the Litli Hrútur mountain, releasing lava in the form of successive fountains.

    Scientists had cautioned about potential eruptions following the detection of numerous minor earthquakes in the region over recent weeks. Images illustrate streams of lava flowing through the dark fields, accompanied by small fires in the distance and thick smoke billowing into the air.

    Since the eruption occurred in an uninhabited area, there are no immediate risks to communities or infrastructure, according to the IMO. However, people have been advised to avoid the vicinity due to the accumulation of hazardous levels of volcanic gases. The wind may carry these gases northward, potentially affecting multiple areas, including the Icelandic capital. The regional destination management office for the Reykjanes Peninsula issued a warning concerning gas levels on Monday.

    In a statement, the office mentioned that the police chief of the peninsula ordered the closure of all volcano trails due to "massive gas pollution that poses a life-threatening risk." This decision was made in consultation with scientists. Efforts are underway to restore access to the volcano once the pollution subsides.

    Several days prior, the management office had cautioned hikers in the region to exercise caution, noting similarities between the recent seismic activity and the period preceding another volcanic eruption that occurred last year.
