A volcanic eruption just began in Iceland, sending lava flows towards the coastal town of Grindavik. Lava is now flowing in several directions, with new material being added at a rate of 300 cubic meters per second. This new eruption occurred with little warning in the minutes before it commensed, following a trend set by prior eruptions. All of this is occurring via a 2900 meter long fissure at Iceland's erupting Reykjanes volcano.
