Iceland put the Coast Guard on alert after the Met Office warned that one of the country’s biggest volcanoes is showing increased levels of unrest.
“The rate of earthquakes has increased such that they are happening so quickly that it is difficult for the seismologist to discern individual events,” the Reykjavik-based agency said in a statement on its website. “The activity continues and an eruption can therefore not be ruled out.”
