Lava flows from a volcano in south-west Iceland that had lit up the night sky on Saturday slowed yesterday while man-made barriers appeared to be successful in steering the lava away from infrastructure including a nearby fishing town.
The eruption – the fourth since December – began on Saturday evening, sending fountains of molten rock soaring from a 3km-long fissure, roughly the same size and at the same place as the last eruption in February.
