Iceland volcano magma erupts from vents amid apocalyptic scenes

Watch the Iceland volcano magma erupt from vents amid apocalyptic scenes. The dramatic scene can be seen up to 20km away after the skies over the eruption turned orange. It comes as more vents are expected to open as the volcanic eruption in southwest Iceland continues, the Icelandic Met Office has warned. Three out of five vents are still active after the volcano on the Reykjanes peninsula began to erupt on Monday night, spewing lava and smoke over 100m into the air. Meanwhile, experts warned the eruption could last several months as residents of the evacuated town of Grindavik had their hopes of returning home for Christmas dashed.
