Icelandic town evacuated over volcano fears

A town in Iceland near Reykjavik has been evacuated due to fears of a volcanic eruption caused by hundreds of tremors. Iceland declared a state of emergency after powerful earthquakes hit the southwestern Reykjanes peninsula. The town, Grindavik, is located near popular tourist destinations such as the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa resort and the Svartsengi geothermal plant. The town was evacuated after the Icelandic Met Office suggested a magma intrusion beneath Grindavik.
