Steam and lava on Monday spurted from a new fissure on an Icelandic volcano that began erupting last month, prompting the evacuation of hundreds of hikers who had come to see the spectacle.
The new fissure, first spotted by a sightseeing helicopter, was about 500m long and about 1km from the original eruption site in the Geldinga Valley.
The Icelandic Department of Emergency Management announced an immediate evacuation of the area, saying that there was no imminent danger to life due to the site’s distance from popular hiking paths.
