Iceland volcano: Lava flows destroy homes following eruption | BBC News
Lava flows have destroyed several homes following a volcanic eruption in south-west Iceland.
A volcano on the Reykjanes peninsula erupted on Sunday, spilling molten rock into the town of Grindavik. The local population was evacuated.
Defences built after an eruption in December were breached in places, setting houses on fire. But by Monday the flow had almost stopped.
There is no danger to the rest of Iceland, officials have said.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

OdorlessVolcanoes:
Are Iceland's volcanoes odorless, or is the cold muting the aroma? Folks haven't checked in with odor updates, or breathing hazards and difficulties.

So sad… When you build on an active volcanic area or near known earthquake faultlines, in hurricane & tornado alleys , flood planes or mud/rock slide zones then it should come as NO surprise when a natural disaster occurs. Blindly assuming that it'll never happen to "you" is an unfortunate human condition…
I pray that these poor folks can recover quickly.
I lost my home in a hurricane, but I live about 20 miles inland from the Atlantic soooo🙄

2024 is a big year for presidential elections in various countries. As an ordinary person, I would like to warn everyone, to choose a president you recognize, listen to his words but also watch his actions. Good leaders should respect human rights, and respecting personal privacy is the most basic principle. If you have used someone you have worked with before and you think his governance behavior is flawed, I suggest you choose carefully. People will not change.

Hmm! I wonder if this is a new volcano – relatively speaking – that has become active ? Someone did mention that nothing like this has happened in almost 800 years! Not quite on the same scale as perhaps in the mid 1990's – so air travel won't be affected by this eruption which is small scale. Still! Quite upsetting for the immediate village community in the area.

The problem with "All Of Us Are Strangers" is that neither Paul Mescal nor Andrew Scott are gay. Hooray for Hollywood!? Why won't they hire gay actors to play gay men, like they hire black actors to play black men? I wouldn't watch a movie about the jazz singer Billie Holiday played by Meryl Streep because Billie Holiday was black and Meryl Streep is white. Right? We are born gay just like people are born black. Being gay and being black isn't a lifestyle choice Hollywood; people don't choose to be born black, or gay. By having a straight actor like Paul Mescal portray a gay man in "All Of Us Our Strangers", Hollywood is saying being gay is a lifestyle choice. And it's not. And that's the problem. Officially Hollywood, says people are born gay, but their movies say otherwise. There is a river in Egypt called denial and, Hollywood is swimming in it. The other problem, is that since being bribed by banal gay marriage, gay men don't protest gay face movies anymore, they stopped protesting after Brokeback Mountain. Back in1976 in the Neil Simon movie "The Goodbye Girl" Richard Dreyfuss lands the role of Richard III, and when the Director of the play on Broadway says he wants him to play a gay Richard III, Richard Dreyfus says aren't you worried about Gay Liberation protesting the play? Well that's the problem gay men stopped protesting gay face movies because they're being told in school 'we're all equal'( except gay men we are unequal). Black people and Asian people would protest if Hollywood made movies where white actors portrayed them. Meryl Streep can't portray a Black or an Asian woman, but she can portray a white lesbian woman in a movie, because gay people won't protest. Gay men have been brainwashed in our schools to not care about straight actors portraying them in movies.
Who does Hollywood think we are? We are born gay aren't we? We don't choose to be gay it's not a lifestyle choice Paul Mescal.
