:: Reykjanes, Iceland

As magma accumulated underground, authorities had warned of imminent volcanic activity on the Reykjanes peninsula, some 30 km (20 miles) south-west of the capital Reykjavik, where the most recent eruption ended only on Sept. 6.

The outbreaks on the Reykjanes peninsula, known as fissure eruptions, have not directly affected the capital city and do not cause significant dispersal of ash into the stratosphere, avoiding air traffic disruption.
