Media images captured huge plumes of smoke and glowing lava flows spewing from an enormous crack in Earth’s surface roughly 30 miles (18.6 miles) southwest of Reykjavík.
The eruption occurred in the early hours of July 16. Officials say lava is flowing towards uninhabited areas and is not an immediate danger to those nearby
