Iceland Volcano Erupts Again

28 November, 2024100 words2 minutes

A volcano in Iceland erupted again on Wednesday night. This is the seventh time it has happened in one year. The eruption happened near Iceland's capital city.

The volcano opened up and created a long crack in the ground. People had to leave the area quickly. Two hotels and a power plant were emptied. The famous Blue Lagoon, a popular tourist spot, also had to close.

Even though the volcano erupted, planes could still fly to and from Iceland. The eruption was smaller than the last one in August. Officials say the nearby town is safe from the lava flow.
