Imminent volcanic eruption threatens 4,000 residents in Iceland

An imminent volcanic eruption near Grindavik, Iceland, threatens 4,000 residents and infrastructure. The magma, now shallow, could cause a fissure eruption or an ocean floor eruption, potentially leading to significant damage. The Icelandic Met Office observed unprecedented magma accumulation, with three recent eruptions fracturing the Earth's crust. The state of emergency and mandatory evacuation have been declared. Iceland, with 33 active volcanic systems, faces a potential long-term increase in volcanic activity.
