Sharjah 24 - AFP: Lava spewed Saturday from a new volcanic fissure on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula, the fourth eruption to hit the area since December, authorities said.

A "volcanic eruption has started between stora Skogfell and Hagafell on the Reykjanes Peninsula," the Icelandic Met Office (IMO) said in a statement, as live video images showed glowing lava and billowing smoke.
