The sky 'ablazes' during the night of the volcanic eruption in Iceland.

Many people north of the town of Grindavik observed smoke rising from the volcanic eruption area on March 16.

Hot lava flowed from a new fissure on the surface of the Reykjanes peninsula in southwestern Iceland on March 16, marking the fourth volcanic eruption in the area since last December. The sky in the region changed color, from pinkish-purple and orange-red to bright red.

The lava flowed in two directions, including towards the town of Grindavik, located about 40 km from Iceland's capital, Reykjavik. Residents of the town were evacuated during the recent volcanic eruptions and most have not yet returned.

The Reykjanes Peninsula is home to the world- famous Blue Lagoon hot springs as well as Iceland's main international airport, Keflavik Airport.

Iceland's public broadcaster RUV reported that Keflavik Airport and other regional airports were operating normally. However, volcanic gas was expected to be detected in the town near the airport on March 17.
