Iceland bracing for volcanic eruption as earthquakes hit – BBC News

Iceland is bracing for a volcanic eruption after experiencing hundreds of earthquakes.

Cracks have appeared on town roads as Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula experienced over 500 earthquakes on Monday.

Seismic activity has decreased, but scientists still anticipate a volcanic eruption.

Experts emphasize that a 15km-long (9-mile) river of magma beneath the peninsula remains active, posing a threat to the evacuated town of Grindavik.

The majority of tremors have occurred under this area, prompting hundreds of people to flee.
