A volcano erupted with little notice in southern Iceland on Saturday night, the latest in a string of eruptions in the area (chuỗi phun trào trong khu vực), threatening local infrastructure and leading the authorities to declare a state of emergency (tuyên bố tình trạng khẩn cấp).

Lava fountains burst out of the ground, and a nearly two-mile-long fissure (vết nứt) opened up on the Reykjanes Peninsula around 8:30 p.m., the Icelandic Meteorological Office said. The eruption occurred near the town of Grindavik, the Svartsengi Power Plant and the Blue Lagoon, one of Iceland’s most famous tourist attractions (địa điểm du lịch nổi tiếng).

On Sunday morning, Hjordis Gudmundsdottir, a spokeswoman for the Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Management, told reporters that the biggest risk was to two pipes that carried hot water from the geothermal Svartsengi Power Plant to homes on the peninsula.

Shortly after midnight, lava flowed over a road toward a water distribution pipe from the power plant, according to an update from the Icelandic Meteorological Office (văn phòng khí tượng) at 1 p.m. local time.

The eruption was most likely the biggest of the seven that have occurred across the Reykjanes Peninsula since 2021, including four since December, the civil protection agency said in a statement. Before that, the peninsula had laid dormant for 800 years.

Meteorologists have expressed concerns (bày tỏ quan ngại) that if the lava continues at the same rate, it could flow into the North Atlantic. Contact between lava and water can create small explosions and dangerous gases (tạo ra các vụ nổ nhỏ và khí nguy hiểm).
