The eruptions occurred near Grindavik, the fishing town near the famous Blue Lagoon. The eruption was the fifth to occur on the peninsula since December. Most of the 4,000 residents of Grindavík were permanently evacuated in November.

  1. The magma has been collecting for a while and was expected to erupt but not sure where. Spectacular for us lookers on but not so funny if you live there

  2. Climate change is to blame. If we just stop doing anything and stay in a small place like the village in 6ts tv show this would not happen. What’s wrong we must act now just like the politicians. Do.

  3. Yeah it's a Volcano. We've known they erupt for what, thousands of years? Can't wait for this to blamed on Russia/China/Isreal/Hamas/eating meat/being white.

  4. Greta Thunberg is on her way to say "how dare you ruin my air" Iceland will have to do better than this if it wants to meet its global emission targets.

  5. The Worlds Clone Armed Forces obeying orders have for Decades been Damaging the Earth Foundation and Plates at Certain areas all over the World Like a Giant Electic Board Hit one area and they know where it will End Causing Massive Earth Quakes and the Sea oceans to rise in the right areas Causing Massive Floods And Billions of Deaths When they Fracked England Weakening and Damaging GBUKs Largest Island Alarm Bells went off in 100s of Millions of Real FF Real Heroes At World FP As this Made NO Sense as the UK has Plenty of Gas and Oil 100s of Millions Of Real FF Heroes Including over 7 Million Real GBUK FF Heroes Sang Do they Plan on Spitting GBUK Largest Island or Sinking it Shame on the Majority of English for Letting this Happen and the Rest of The Majority of Brits for not Standing Up

  6. Just what are the Icelandic government going to do about all that greenhouse gas? Selfish disregard for net zero targets. 😡😡😡

  7. Where's all the climate change protesters offended by this volcanic eruption? You know how much carbon is emitted when a volcano erupts
