After weeks of anticipation, a volcano in Iceland finally erupted on Monday night, captivating the world with its stunning display of nature's power. The eruption opened a 2.5 mile fissure near the fishing town of Grindavik, causing the evacuation of its 4,000 residents. While initially intense, the eruption started to decrease in intensity just four hours later. Despite the evacuation, incredible footage has emerged, showcasing the mesmerizing beauty of the erupting volcano.

The eruption in Iceland began near the town of Grindavik, which had already been evacuated due to fears of an imminent eruption. Iceland's president took to Twitter to assure the public that their priorities were focused on protecting lives and infrastructure. The Icelandic Met Office reported that the eruption had already started to decrease in intensity, providing some relief for the residents.

The eruption, although dangerous, seemed to be heading away from the town of Grindavik, according to experts. The lava flows were uncertain, but it appeared that they were moving towards the north, west, and possibly the south and east. This direction was favourable for the town, as a four-kilometre crack in the ground had opened up, releasing magma and forming lava flows.
