Hot lava is flowing in Reykjavik for the first time in nearly 5000 years. No, there has not been an eruption in the capital, because the lava is flowing in a safe space inside a showroom of the Lava Show at Fiskislóð 73 in the Grandi area of Reykjavík.
A commercial building in Fiskislóð in Grandi in the western part of Reykjavík caught fire last night. The Fire Department was contacted at 3:22 AM and the building in question houses The Lava Show, but according to Jónas Árnason, warden of the Fire Department, the house is in bad shape and parts of the roof needed to be torn down. The cause of the fire is thought to be a chimney that connects to a furnace that is used in the show.
