Last night, a powerful volcano erupted on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwestern Iceland, according to the Icelandic Meteorological Office. Authorities swiftly evacuated nearly 4,000 residents from the town of Grindavik to ensure their safety. 🚧 All roads leading to Grindavik are now closed, and officials have urged everyone to stay away from the eruption site.
Emergency teams are closely monitoring the situation, assessing any potential risks. A civil defense representative told CGTN Stringer that, fortunately, no one was in immediate danger when the volcano erupted. 🔍 They plan to keep a close eye on developments over the next few days to manage the situation effectively.
While volcanic eruptions can be unpredictable, the quick response from the authorities has so far kept the community safe. Residents are advised to follow official updates and heed any further instructions from emergency personnel. Stay safe, Iceland! 🇮🇸✨
