Lava flows reach town after Iceland’s second volcanic eruption in weeks | DW News
Lava from the volcano which erupted early on Sunday in Iceland has reached the small fishing town of Grindavik.
The molten lava flows have set some buildings on fire. The town's residents were evacuated Saturday night after days of intense seismic activity. It's the second time they've had to leave their homes since November.
Previous earthquakes and a separate eruption in December saw them forced to stay away for six weeks. Authorities built barriers of earth and rock in recent weeks to try to prevent lava from reaching Grindavik, some 40 kilometers southwest of the capital Reykjavik.
We talk to journalist Ingolfur Bjarni Sigfusson in Reykjavik. He tells us more about the lava reaching home and infrastructure in the small fishing community.
