A volcano has dramatically erupted in Iceland on December 18 after weeks of intense earthquake activity
Lava fountains reach high in the air and lit up the sky of Grindavik town in southwestern Iceland
Iceland’s Coast Guard posted a video of its chopper with volcanologists flying over the site of the eruption
The town was evacuated last month because of the seismic activity and the area is closed to all traffic
Lava is currently flowing just 2.5 kilometres north of Grindavík and fissure size is expanding fast
