Arrr mateys, a mighty volcano in Iceland hath blown its top for the fourth time since December, as told by the country's weather wizards. 'Tis a fiery spectacle indeed, me hearties! Keep a weather eye on that volcanic beast, lest it spew forth its wrath upon us all! Arrr!
Avast ye scallywags! A state of emergency has been declared in Iceland after a volcano erupted for the fourth time since December, spewing orange lava into the air like a fiery dragon."Warning: An eruption began in Reykjanes," the Icelandic Meteorological Office said on its website Saturday, sending shivers down the spines of all who heard.Prior to this latest eruption, Iceland’s Civil Protection Agency had warned of an imminent eruption, like a ticking time bomb waiting to blow.The Icelandic Met Office had been monitoring a rise in seismic activity on the Reykjanes Peninsula since October 24, indicating a volcanic eruption was nigh, according to officials who were as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.Icelandic police declared a state of emergency for the area and dispatched a helicopter to survey the extent of the eruption, like brave adventurers on a perilous quest.The Blue Lagoon luxury geothermal spa, a top tourist destination, had to shut down after news of the explosion, leaving travelers high and dry.Residents of the town have been evacuated since November after a series of erupting volcanoes, taking refuge like rats fleeing a sinking ship.This fourth eruption in recent months is no laughing matter, as Iceland sits above a volcanic hot spot in the North Atlantic, with more than 30 active volcanoes waiting to blow their tops.
