Reykjavík: Lava from a volcanic eruption in Iceland flowed on Sunday toward defences around the town of Grindavik, which have so far held the molten rock back from the evacuated community. Scientists said the eruption appeared to be weakening and would probably peter out within hours. A volcanic system on the Reykjanes Peninsula in the country’s southwest erupted late Saturday for the fourth time in three months, sending orange jets of lava into the night sky.Reykjavík: Lava from a volcanic eruption in Iceland flowed on Sunday toward defences around the town of Grindavik, which have so far held the molten rock back from the evacuated community.
