Iceland volcano erupts for 4th time since December, spewing lava and smoke

A volcano in Iceland erupted for the fourth time since December on Saturday, spewing bright orange lava into the air in sharp contrast against the dark night sky. Icelandic police said they had declared a state of emergency for the area and the civil defence authority dispatched a helicopter to survey the extent of the eruption.
Livestreams from the area showed fountains of molten rock soaring from fissures in the ground after authorities had warned for weeks that an eruption was imminent on the Reykjanes peninsula, just south of Iceland's capital Reykjavik.
The nearby fishing town of Grindavik, where a few of the nearly 4,000 residents had returned following earlier outbreaks, was again evacuated, public broadcaster RUV reported. An outbreak in January burned several of its homes to the ground.
"We see that there is some likelihood that we are in the beginning of such an eruptive period and we might have eruptions on the peninsula on and off for the next few hundred years," geophysicist and associate professor at University of Iceland’s Institute of Earth Sciences, Halldor Geirsson, said. “This is sort of what geological history tells us that might be at hand.”

    I feel sorry for people like you, please spend some time educating yourself. Look around you and question the nonsense of evolution. I personally don't have enough faith to believe everything came from nothing. The only alternative is everything came from something. That's the only explanation that is rational. If that's the case then it should make a lot of sense to be spending the time figuring out what evidence there is to support that conclusion@@Antihistamine99
