Drone View Of The Volcano Erupting On Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula

A drone is capturing the lava flow from the erupting volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula, with the town of Grindavik and the lights of the famous Blue Lagoon visible in the background, in Grindavik, Iceland, on December 19, 2023. Following weeks of seismic activity around Grindavik that prompted the evacuation of about 4,000 residents, the volcano is erupting on the Reykjanes Peninsula, with lava spewing from a fissure approximately 3.5 kilometers long.
