A volcano in Iceland erupted on Saturday for the fourth time since December after previous eruptions destroyed roads and forced a town to evacuate. Authorities had warned for weeks that an eruption was imminent on the Reykjanes peninsula, just south of Iceland's capital Reykjavik. The Icelandic Meteorological Office confirmed a volcanic eruption started between Stora Skogfell and Hagafell on Saturday.
There were no reported flight disruptions on Saturday night, with the website of Reykjavik's nearby Keflavik Airport showing it remained open both for departures and arrivals. The volcano last erupted in early February, cutting off district heating to more than 20,000 people as lava flowsdestroyed roads and pipelines. In January, several houses were burned to the ground in the fishing town of Grindavik.
