Iceland volcano erupts for fifth time; spews red lava and smoke
A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted on Wednesday for the fifth time since December, posing a renewed threat to the coastal town of Grindavik and prompting the evacuation of the famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa. The eruption followed a series of earthquakes north of the town, which had been largely evacuated in December when the volcano first came to life after centuries of inactivity.
