A volcano erupted in southwest Iceland on Sunday, January 14, with molten lava flows reaching the outskirts of a small fishing town by midafternoon, setting some houses alight. Authorities said the town was evacuated earlier and no people were in danger.   The crack in the earth’s surface that opened close to Grindavik on Sunday is no longer active, and lava production from the larger fissure north of the town was decreasing, volcanologist Rikke Pedersen told Reuters on Monday, January 15.   🔗 Head to our link in bio for the latest.   #News #Reuters #topstories #topnews #volcano #Iceland #Grindavik #lava
