A volcano in Iceland erupted Saturday evening for the fourth time in three months, sending vibrant orange jets of lava into the night sky. 🌋✨
Iceland's Meteorological Office reported that the latest eruption created a fissure approximately 3 kilometers (almost 2 miles) long between Stora-Skogfell and Hagafell mountains on the Reykjanes Peninsula. 🗺️🌋
For weeks, the Met Office had warned that magma – semi-molten rock – was accumulating beneath the ground, making an eruption likely. 🔥🌎
