Video: Evacuation of 3,000 Residents as Iceland Prepares for Volcanic Eruption
Authorities in Grindavik, Iceland, have completed the evacuation of 3,000 residents. Meteorologists forecast that the Fagradalsfjall volcano may begin to erupt within the coming hours. The local disaster monitoring service has started broadcasting with a panoramic view of the city so that people can observe the impending catastrophe.
It is important to note that a state of emergency has been declared in Iceland. Since the end of October, 24,000 earthquakes have been recorded in the Reykjanes Peninsula, where the volcano is located. Due to the tremors in Grindavik, massive cracks have appeared on the roads, and the facades of buildings have been damaged.
