Multiple new fissures have opened up again near Grindavík, on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, and the lava is speeding toward the town. Both Grindavík and the area's famed Blue Lagoon were evacuated over the weekend when two new fissures opened up and lava started rushing towards the area, but anti-lava barriers constructed recently have been able to stop the lava from getting closer to any infrastructure.However, the lava is getting dangerously close to Grindavík's main road, the Grindavíkurvegur road, and scientists expect the lava to reach it. Thankfully, the impact on surrounding areas has not been as great, as all airports remain functional and the volcanic ash and gas have not gone very far. Unfortunately, some scientists believe that this is opening up a whole system of magma chambers under the area, and more fissures could continue to form in the coming months. This comes after continuous seismic activity and an eruption on February 8 following an evacuation of the area over eruption concerns back in November, and the worries for the small town are still increasing by the day.
Fact of the Day: Out of the original eight, there is only one Shell gas station left that is actually shaped like a shell-- it is in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
