Iceland Volcano Erupts Once Again

A volcano located on the Reykjanes peninsula of Iceland erupted for the third time in just two months on Thursday. The seismic activity was first noted at about 5:30 am local time while the eruption happened roughly 30 minutes later.

Mt. Sylingarfell first erupted on December 18, putting residents in this remote part of Iceland on edge.
