A volcano erupted again to the south of Iceland’s capital on Tuesday, spewing lava and smoke in a fiery display of orange and red that triggered evacuations of a nearby town and the Bleu Lagoon spa, although air traffic continued as normal.

Lava has begun flowing from a volcano near Iceland's capital, after authorities began evacuating nearby communities. The meteorological office said an eruption is underway after previously warning of the threat.
