Western nations are growing increasingly wary of what’s going on in and around the Faroe Islands, a self-governing territory under the Kingdom of Denmark which has a longstanding fishing agreement with Moscow.

Iceland: 3rd volcanic eruption in 3 years between Fagradalsfjall and Keilir mountains
Iceland capital of Reykjavik. It is situated between the Fagradalsfjall and Keilir mountains. Though the Icelandic Meteorological Office said Monday that the eruption is small or minor, the fissure or the mouth of the volcano from where the molten lavas are coming out is about 200 meters, or about 656 feet long. This is not the first time that a volcano has erupted in Iceland, rather, the European nation is prone to volcanic activities and there are 130 volcanoes in the country, many of them still active. President Guðni Th. Jóhannesson has said in a tweet that there is no danger. He said that there is ‘no danger to the infrastructure’ and the ‘civil authorities have closed down a large area’. He also said that the government ‘is monitoring the spectacle from a safe distance.’ The same volcano erupted in 2021 and then again in 2022. This is its third eruption. There are reasons for the unusual seismic behavior. The meteorological office said earlier that it has recorded not less than 7,00 earthquakes between Fagradalsfjall and Keilir since 2021. It also said that there has been a seismic swarm" since July 4 this year. It said that the largest eruption was recorded on July 5. Explaining the reasons, the meteorological office said that the area has witnessed a ‘new dike intrusion.’ The IMO has also said that it recorded ‘increasing levels of tremor’ at Fagradalsfjall in the two days prior to the latest eruption on July 5.
