A volcano has erupted in Iceland, forcing the evacuation of nearby homes.
Red-hot lava can be seen shooting up from the ground on the Reykjanes Peninsula.
It is the sixth time in the last eight months that the area has seen an eruption.
The nearby town of Grindavik has been largely abandoned since late last year when residents were first ordered to evacuate.
Remaining residents have been told to leave due to the latest eruption.
The popular Blue Lagoon geothermal spa has been closed, while the Svartsengi area has also been evacuated.
Flights are currently unaffected.
