Story

The town of Grindavik in Iceland is facing a potential threat from a volcanic eruption, with molten rock slowly moving towards the coastal area. Despite the consumed road and proximity to the lava, there is no immediate evacuation order as the progress is slow, reducing the imminent risk. The lava flow is a consequence of a recent volcanic eruption in the Reykjanes Peninsula region, where the volcano has now stabilized.
