Island country in Northern Europe, Iceland. Its capital is Reykjavik.

Because it is surrounded by glaciers and volcanoes, Iceland is also known as the land of fire and ice.

In the way of life of the people of Iceland, it is common for lava to erupt from volcanoes, and after their fury subsides, the town is cleaned and resettled.

A few days ago, lava began to flow in the country’s Grindavik region.

Subsequently, around 3800 people who lived in the area left their homes.

This time in Grindavik, the lava has destroyed the entire town, making it impossible to settle there again.

At many places in the city, there was a long fissure in the earth and lava was pouring out of it as well.

The government has erected barricades outside the Schwarzenki geothermal power plant near Grindavik to prevent lava from flowing into it.

People were shocked to see the footage of the lava engulfing 3 houses in the city on television.

Many of the people displaced from their homes due to natural disasters have bank loans on their houses and are worried about their livelihoods.
