A volcano in southwestern Iceland began erupting Monday, the country’s meteorological authorities said, 11 months after its last eruption officially ended.
The eruption is in an uninhabited valley near the mountain Litli-Hrútur, some 30 kilometers (19 miles) southwest of the capital, Reykjavik.
The area, known broadly as Fagradalsfjall volcano, has erupted twice in the last two years without causing damage or disruptions to flights despite being near Keflavik Airport, Iceland’s international air traffic hub.
