The emergency officials of Iceland evacuated hundreds of residents near a restless volcano on Wednesday in the midst of fears of second volcano eruption.
Rognvaldur Olafsson, a chief inspector for the Icelandic Civil Protection Agency, said ‘’Some 800 people near the Eyjafjallajokull (AYA-Feeyapla-Yurkul) volcano were evacuated after seismic activity suggested it may have erupted for the second time’’.
The volcano about 75 miles east of Reykjavik, erupted 20th march , After 200 years of silence.
Olafsson said “The volcano in question is under a glacier,” and also “If an eruption happens, there could be flash floods.”
Olafsson said heavy cloud cover was preventing scientists from flying over the glacier to determine what precisely is happening and whether the volcano has actually erupted.
Iceland, a nation of 320,000 people, sits on a large volcanic hot spot in the Atlantic’s mid-oceanic point Volcanic eruptions are often triggered by seismic activity when the Earth’s plates move and when magma from deep underground pushes its way to the surface.
