A huge volcano has erupted on the Reykjanes peninsula of south-west Iceland after weeks of intense earthquake activity.
About 4,000 people had already been evacuated from the nearby fishing town of Grindavik.
The eruption started late last night - at 22:17 local time (22:17 GMT), the Icelandic Met Office said.
The region around Iceland's capital Reykjavik has been experiencing an increase in earthquake activity since late October.
