We're pausing our live coverage of the latest volcanic eruption in Iceland for now.
Here's a quick recap of today's key lines before we go:
- The Icelandic Meteorological Office says the situation near the southwestern town of Grindavik is greatly improved after a volcanic eruption on Sunday
- This saw magma spilling out of one fissure and into part of the town on Sunday - destroying a number of houses
- Nobody was harmed - residents were all moved to safety in time but it is unclear when they will be able to return home
- One resident said he fears "this town might be over" and he may need to "start all over, somewhere else"
- Grindavik was first evacuated in November, after a different eruption, but some locals had been allowed to return
- There was also an eruption in December. This latest event is the the fifth to have taken place along the Reykjanes Peninsula since 2021
- The rest of Iceland has not been affected and flights in and out of the country have been operating as normal.
