This dramatic footage of a volcanic eruption in the Sundhnúks crater row on the Reykjanes Peninsula, south-west of Iceland, was captured by a drone on Thursday. Fortunately, the volcano’s impact is limited to a localized area near the eruption site and does not present a threat to life and the nearby fishing town of Grindavik.
This marks the sixth time since December the volcano has erupted on the Reykjanes Peninsula. It began shortly after 9 p.m. Thursday following a series of strong earthquakes. Within an hour of the quakes, a 2.4-mile fissure cut through the Sundhnúkur crater.

If this continues like this, Grindavík is not in danger. Of course, we don’t know what will happen in the near future, but it is likely that this has reached its peak and then it will start to subside like the other eruptions,” said Magnús Tuma Guðmundsson, geophysicist.
