HELSINKI, Nov 21 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- A volcanic eruption on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula triggered evacuations on Wednesday, local media reported, according to Xinhua.
Icelandic radio RUV reported that Grindavik town and the Blue Lagoon resort have been fully evacuated due to the eruption in the Sundhnuks crater series.
Benedikt Ofeigsson, head of deformation at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, said the eruption appears to be much smaller than the one in August. It is the seventh volcanic eruption on the peninsula this year.
RUV said Keflavik Airport was unaffected, and flights remained on schedule Thursday morning.
