A volcanic eruption has occurred in the Sundhnúksgígar area of Iceland, with some reports indicating it is the ninth such eruption. The eruption has caused evacuations, including at the Blue Lagoon, and has produced visible plumes of lava. The Icelandic Meteorological office has reported that ground uplift and magma accumulation continue in the area, but also states that the ninth eruption on the Sundhnúkur crater row has ended, although other reports suggest ongoing volcanic activity.
