Iceland is facing its seventh volcanic eruption in less than a year as lava is again gushing from the ground near a devastated southwestern fishing town. Lava burst to the surface just after 11 p.m. local time on Wednesday, according to the Met Office. The eruption seems to be significantly smaller than the last one in August, flowing at less than half the pace, geophysicist Benedikt Ofeigsson said by phone.
