Live from the Volcano
In the wake of being shaken by 15 months of progressively problematic quakes, incorporating around 50,000 in the previous three weeks, Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula is at long last encountering the volcanic ejection that numerous geologists suspected was on its way. After almost 800 years without an emission, this southwestern piece of the nation is encountering magma streams that specialists say have been bound to happen.
