Iceland lava flows slow after volcano erupts again

Lava flows from a volcano in southwest Iceland that had lit up the night sky appear to have slowed but authorities say they still pose a danger to infrastructure including a nearby fishing town.

The eruption – the fourth since December – began at 2023 GMT on Saturday, sending fountains of molten rock soaring from a roughly 3km-long fissure, roughly the same size and at the same place as the last eruption in February.
