There she blows.
A volcano in southwest Iceland has erupted following weeks of intense earthquake activity, the country's Meteorological Office says.
Fearing a significant outbreak on the Reykjanes peninsula, authorities had evacuated the nearly 4000 inhabitants of the fishing town of Grindavik and closed the nearby Blue Lagoon geothermal spa. The peninsula in recent years saw several eruptions in unpopulated areas, but the current outbreak was believed to pose an immediate risk to the town, authorities have said.
