A Volcanic Eruption is Imminent in Iceland; Evacuations Underway, Eruption Could Begin in Hours

A volcanic eruption appears imminent in Iceland within 6 kilometers of the town of Grindavik. There are even possible signs that an at depth body of magma might now partially exist underneath the town. As a result, a volcanic eruption and potentially a major disaster could begin in as little as a few hours, to as much as a few days.
