A volcano near Reykjavik has lit up Iceland's skies (again)! 🌋 The Reykjanes Peninsula eruption late Wednesday marks its 10th dramatic show since 2021, hurling lava fountains 50 meters high and painting the night with fiery streaks. Locals shared jaw-dropping footage of molten rivers snaking across the landscape – nature’s own TikTok moment. 📸
Though no evacuations are needed (this spot’s remote!), authorities warn travelers to steer clear of \"danger zones\" near flowing lava. The eruption follows months of seismic rumbles, proving Iceland’s nickname as the \"Land of Fire and Ice\" is well-earned. ❄️➡️🔥
Fun fact: This area’s volcanic activity has boosted tourism, with thrill-seekers flocking to see lava flows up close. But scientists say these frequent eruptions could become the new normal for the peninsula. Stay tuned – and maybe add Iceland to your travel bucket list (safely, of course)! 🌍✈️
