Protective structures successfully contain lava flows and protect the city of Grindavik from the fourth volcanic eruption in 3 months on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland.

On the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland, during the fourth volcanic eruption in the last 3 months, lava reached the protective ramparts. This was reported by UNN with reference to Euronews.

Details

The protective berms should prevent the lava from spreading to the Blue Lagoon tourist area and the nearby Svartsengi power plant, which has already been evacuated due to safety concerns and heavy pollution.

So far, the protective walls are holding. Scientists predict that the eruption - the strongest in the region so far - will weaken and may die down in the near future.

Recall

The volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula erupted on Saturday for the fourth time in three months. Lava flowed from a 3 kilometer-long fissure toward Grindavik, a coastal city of 3,800 people. Residents had to be evacuated .
