<p>The eruption began at around 4am local time on Wednesday following an intense seismic swarm on the Reykjanes Peninsula, south west of the capital, Reykjavik, Iceland’s Met Office said.</p>
<p>Some 100 people were evacuated from the town of Grindavik shortly after the seismic activity began. Tourists at a campsite and guests at the Blue Lagoon were forced to quickly pack their bags, RUV reported.</p>

<p>Margret Kristin Palsdottir, a local police commissioner, said the evacuation went smoothly and lasted about 90 minutes.</p>
<p>“Of course, people have different opinions on whether the evacuation is necessary but it is a decision we make and take responsibility for,” she said.</p>
<p>Lava from the eruption is flowing south east from a fissure in the barren landscape that is 700 to 1,000m wide, but the molten rock is not threatening any infrastructure, the Met Office said.</p>
<p>Grindavik has been repeatedly affected by the activity since November 2023 when a volcano in the area came to life after lying dormant for 800 years.</p>
