Volcano Erupts near the Eyjafallajoekull glacier in Iceland
Local authorities in Iceland verified that a volcano near the Eyjafallajoekull glacier is erupting. Reports say that the first eruption happened at around 11:30pm Saturday (1930 EDT). It was the first time in many years since the volcano beneath the glacier has erupted. The last recorded occurrence was in 1821.
According to the police authorities in Selfoss, hundreds of people were being evacuated from adjacent farms in the Fljótshlíð and Markarhlíð area. A state of emergency has also been announced in communities near the picturesque glacier.
Local authorities also estimated that no one is in danger but the 200 year old dormant volcano’s eruption could melt the glacier and cause floods in the surrounding area.
