- A new volcano erupted on the Reykjanes peninsula in southwestern Iceland on Thursday, releasing hot lava into the air. This marks the sixth eruption in the region since December, according to authorities.
- Live footage showed orange lava bursting from a long fissure, illuminating the smoke-filled night sky. The eruption began at 9:26 PM (2126 GMT) following a series of earthquakes, as reported by the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO).

- The Reykjanes peninsula had not experienced an eruption for eight centuries until March 2021. Subsequent eruptions occurred in August 2022 and in July and December 2023, prompting volcanologists to warn of a new era of seismic activity in the region.
