New fissure in Iceland spewing lava

The only difference this time, it began right next to the town of Grindavik

It already erupted once in December, but also the 5th in Iceland since 2021. Also, this time, since earthquakes were happening near and in Grindavik since November, they were building a defence wall, quite literally where the eruption happened

They've already evacuated. Some were staying overnight, but when the alert went at 3 am local time to Iceland, they all went back to the shelter where they were staying before Christmas

Some of the lava has hit a few houses, because of the second fissure opening up right next to the town
