A volcanic eruption that started last month in Iceland is beginning to pose a bigger threat to human safety than initially anticipated as the flow of lava spreads.
“The area has become more dangerous,” Kristin Jonsdottir at Iceland’s Met Office told state broadcaster RUV. She says the risk now is that the lava might quickly shift direction, potentially encircling onlookers.
