COPENHAGEN — A volcano in southwestern Iceland sent glowing hot lava shooting more than 50 meters into the air on Wednesday, its fifth eruption since December and the most powerful one since its volcanic system became active three years ago.Authorities had warned of the risk of renewed volcanic activity in the area just south of the capital Reykjavik as studies showed magma accumulated underground.
"It started as a very traditional fissure eruption with a lot of lava fountains and lava already being spilled out," said Ari Trausti Gudmundsson, an Icelandic geophysicist."The fountain activity is usually most powerful in the beginning. It abates very slowly, and maybe in the next 24 hours, most of these lava fountains will slow," he said, adding that the eruption could go on for days or weeks.
