Another volcanic eruption has begun in south-west Iceland, forcing the evacuation of the famous geothermal Blue Lagoon spa and the small fishing town of Grindavik.
The new fissure opened up near Sundhnuksgigar on the Reykjanes peninsula, the fifth eruption in the area since December.
The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) said the fissure was longer than 2.5km (1.5 miles) and was continuing to grow.
Footage from the site shows a wall of molten rock shooting up to a height of 50m, and huge plumes of ash covering most of the sky.
Officials also reported "intense earthquake activity" prior to Wednesday's eruption.
A state of emergency has been declared - a step that has been taken following all recent eruptions.
According to state broadcaster RUV, power had been cut off to the largely abandoned town of Grindavik to protect a high-voltage line that was at risk.
The nearby Svartsengi power plant, which provides electricity and water to thousands of people on the peninsula, has also been evacuated.
Barriers have been built up around the facility, as well as Grindavik and the Blue Lagoon, to try to protect them from magma flows caused by the ongoing eruptions.
