Not far from the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, after several days of seismic activity, a volcanic eruption began.
About it informs Iceland Monitor portal.
It is noted that a new volcanic eruption has begun on the Reykjanes Peninsula. A week ago, significant uplift was reported from the area of the eruption in many places.
The next day, July 4, a series of earthquakes hit the region. Since then, the number of tremors has risen to thousands, with many exceeding 4 on the Richter scale and some exceeding 5.
No significant structural damage was reported.
The volcano is located near the site of previous eruptions that occurred in 2021 and 2022.
As Cursor reported, in May, the Popocatepetl volcano became more active in Mexico. 25 million people have been warned to prepare for a possible evacuation.
Popocatepetl threw ashes on several nearby cities. Ash from a volcano in the central part of the country caused flight delays in the state of Mexico and forced authorities to close schools in dozens of municipalities.
The volcano is located between the states of Morelos, Puebla and Mexico City. Popocatepetl is the second highest volcano in Mexico. It is located 72 km southwest of Mexico City, where about 9 million people live.
Earlier, the Cursor wrote that on May 21, the most active volcano in Europe, named Etna, woke up, as a result of which there was an emission of ash on the city of Catania (Italy). An increase in volcanic activity was recorded in the morning, and after that ash began to fall on Catania. Because of this, the city’s airport was closed in the largest city in eastern Sicily.
The cursor wrote earlier that the lives of 22 million people were at risk due to the risk of a volcanic eruption.
