An eruption could happen within "days" say scientists monitoring a volcano in Iceland.
The Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted for the first time in over 6,000 years in 2021, and is thought to have been causing a series of earthquakes since October of this year.
The discovery of an underground river of magma has led to the evacuation of 4,000 people from the nearby village of Grindavik and Iceland has declared a state of emergency.
Residents were allowed back to their homes to collect belongings but people have been told to leave once more, with the likelihood of eruptions "remaining high" according to the Icelandic Meteorological office.
