No text updates - but you can keep an eye on the eruption

Hello, we're bringing you a live stream of a volcano erupting in Iceland for the third time since December.

We've seen images of molten rock shooting out of faults in the ground in the Reykjanes peninsula and a steady stream of lava moving across the landscape.

According to local media, it has now flowed over a pipe supplying hot water to the region, and work is under way to replace it.

The nearby town of Grindavík, which normally has 4,000 residents, was evacuated in mid-January.
