REYKJAVIK, Iceland — A long- dormant volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwestern Iceland flared to life on Friday night (local time), spilling lava down two sides in that area’s first volcanic eruption in nearly 800 years. Initial aerial footage, posted on the Facebook page of the Icelandic Meteorological Office, showed a relatively small eruption so far, with two streams of lava running in opposite directions. The glow from the lava could be seen from the outskirts of Iceland’s capital, Reykjavík, which is about 32 kilometres away. The Department of Emergency Management said it was not anticipating evacuations because the volcano is in a remote valley, about 2.5km from the nearest road. The Fagradals Mountain volcano had been dormant for 6000 years, and the Reykjanes Peninsula had not seen an eruption of any volcano in 781 years. There had been signs of a possible eruption recently, with earthquakes occurring daily for the past three weeks.
