economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Volcano in Iceland's Grindavik is likely to erupt again as the continuous movement of magma underneath, as per a report. The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) has warned that the movement of magma was detected in the Svartsengi reservoir. Svartsengi reservoir is located under the surface of the Earth, as per a report on Fox Weather.

In 2023, there were a number of eruptions. Streets of Grindavik had cracks after powerful earthquakes rattled Grindavik.

Earlier in July, Europe's largest active volcano Mount Etna witnessed eruptions, posing risk to Italy's Sicily.

The 3,324-metres-high (10,905 feet) volcano has erupted multiple times in recent decades.

Over the last few days, its crater had begun to spit fountains of scorching lava and releasing ash.

Italian authorities also issued a red warning for another volcano north of Sicily — Stromboli on the island of the same name — whose eruption created ash clouds.

Mount Stromboli — culminating at 920 metres and with a base reaching 2,000 metres below sea level — is known for being one of the only nearly constantly active volcanoes in the world, according to the INGV.
