A volcanic eruption on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, which began on Monday night, has spewed lava at an initial rate of 300 m³ per second and colored the night sky orange, illuminating the area with spectacular fountains of molten rock. The eruption followed weeks of intense seismic activity and opened a fissure over two miles long, northeast of the town of Grindavik. Iceland's Foreign Minister, @Bjarni_Ben, indicated that the eruption's intensity is decreasing, with the lava flow reaching a balance rate of 30 m³ per second, and appears to be flowing away from the town, easing fears for the safety of homes. Despite the eruption's power, which was visible from space, the Icelandic authorities have declared a state of emergency, and at least 4,000 residents of Grindavik have been evacuated. Scientists, including Sky's Science and Technology Editor @t0mclark3, are monitoring the situation, which could last for months, and have warned of potential gas pollution in the capital, Reykjavik. The eruption has attracted thrill-seekers and tourists, although officials are urging caution and advising against attempting to visit the site due to the challenging conditions. Coverage of the event is available on Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233, and YouTube.
