A volcano in Iceland is erupting again, spewing lava and cutting heat and hot water supplies

GRINDAVIK, Iceland (AP) — A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted Thursday for the third time since December, sending jets of lava into the sky, triggering the evacuation of the popular Blue Lagoon geothermal spa and cutting heat and hot water to thousands of people.

Volcano discovery

A mysterious type of magma found in extinct volcanoes could contain abundant rare earth elements, which are crucial ingredients for electric vehicles, wind turbines and other clean technologies, according to a report. That could lead to other rare earth discoveries, even in the US.

Hawaii volcano

Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano — one of the world’s most active volcanoes — erupted on Monday after a three-month hiatus, spewing bright orange lava as high as 300 feet, according to the United States Geological Survey. Kilauea began erupting at roughly 2:20 a.m. local time and continued throughout the day, bringing packed crowds to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which is open to the public 24 hours a day. The USGS has also posted a livestream of the spectacle. Authorities assured the public that nearby communities would not be in danger as the eruption is contained within the park, but warned that “emission rates of the volcanic gases were very high” and spreading downwind from the crater, affecting air quality, according to the USGS.

Underwater Volcano Could Erupt Near US Coast in 2025

Deep below the Earth's surface, magma is churning and flowing into the Axial Seamount, an underwater shield volcano about 300 miles off the coast of Oregon. As the volcano grows and tremors increase, geologists are increasingly certain it will erupt soon—possibly as soon as this year, and scientists from around the world will be watching closely if it does.

Underwater volcano

Things are heating up hundreds of miles off the coast of Oregon, where scientists say a large volcano under the ocean shows signs of impending eruption. Small plants and animals thrive on the mineral-rich gases from its hydrothermal vents.

Indonesia volcano

Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki erupted on Tuesday, sending an enormous ash column into the sky over the tourist island of Flores in south-central Indonesia. The eruption, which could be seen more than 90 miles away, caused the delay or cancellation of dozens of flights to and from the island of Bali. The 5,197-foot twin volcano erupted again this morning, spewing a smaller ash cloud. With such activity, officials decided to evacuate residents in two nearby villages. Last November, the volcano erupted multiple times, killing nine people and injuring dozens more.

Scientists obtain first 3D images of one of the world's most active volcanoes For five years, a group of scientists has climbed Mexico’s Popocatépetl volcano, whose eruption could affect millions of people, with a risky and critical mission: figure out what is happening under the crater. Read more.

Why this matters: Most of the world’s volcanoes that pose a risk to humans already have detailed maps of their interiors, but not Popocatépetl. The team has created the first three-dimensional image of the whole 17,883-foot volcano’s interior. It tells them where the magma accumulates and will help them better understand its activity, and, eventually, help authorities better react to eruptions.
