Iceland's active volcano near the town of Grindavík has erupted again, with the lava setting a record for fastest-moving lava ever. The volcano erupted for the third time a few days ago with a huge lava blast that spewed 260 feet into the air. Initially, it did not pose a threat, but the lava sped down towards a geothermal energy plant. Thankfully, the lava did not reach the plant, but it did take out multiple hot water pipes. Power is still up and running, but the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa has closed due to the fact that lava has covered the main access road leading to the attraction. The eruption seems to have cooled down, though, with no more lava spewing out of the fissure and seismic activity coming to a stop. The volcano previously erupted in December and January, but scientists are saying that the volcano's recent activity could be slowing down.
