A resident of an Icelandic town close to an erupting volcano said he watched his new house burn on live television when lava reached the outskirts of Grindavik on Sunday (January 14), setting three buildings alight.
Grindavik resident Hrannar Jon Emilsson told Icelandic media there had been an evacuation order in November over fears of an imminent eruption, which had disrupted his plan to move in into the house he was building before Christmas.
But almost a month later, Emilsson watched his home go "up in smoke".
