Iceland volcano: Lava flows destroy homes following eruption | BBC News


Lava flows have destroyed several homes following a volcanic eruption in south-west Iceland.

A volcano on the Reykjanes peninsula erupted on Sunday, spilling molten rock into the town of Grindavik. The local population was evacuated.

Defences built after an eruption in December were breached in places, setting houses on fire. But by Monday the flow had almost stopped.

There is no danger to the rest of Iceland, officials have said.
