@abcworldnews: A #volcano began erupting in southwestern #Iceland on Tuesday, just hours after authorities evacuated a nearby community and the #BlueLagoon geothermal spa, one of Iceland’s biggest #tourist attractions. Flames and smoke shot through the air as the volcanic fissure opened near the town of Grindavik, where some 40 homes have been evacuated, national broadcaster RUV reported. The community, located on the Reykjanes Peninsula, was largely evacuated a year ago when the volcano came to life after lying dormant for 800 years. According to webcam observations, the volcanic activity appears to have significantly decreased Tuesday evening. Iceland sits above a volcanic hot spot in the North Atlantic. The most disruptive incident in recent times was the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, which spewed clouds of ash into the atmosphere and disrupted trans-Atlantic air travel for months. #WorldNewsTonight #News #evacuation
