Iceland Volcano
( Grindavik, Iceland) — Iceland is bracing for a major volcanic eruption. All 38-hundred residents have been forced to evacuate from the small town of Grindavik after a huge crack in the Earth began to spread last week. The seismic activity triggered hundreds of earthquakes and tremors in the region. The Icelandic Meteorological Office said there is a “significant likelihood” that an eruption will occur somewhere along the 9-mile magma tunnel, with the “prime location” an area north of Grindavik near the Hagafell mountain. Grindavik residents are being allowed to return for five minutes each to rescue valuable possessions and pets.
