Iceland declares state of emergency as thousands are told to evacuate over volcanic eruption fears after series of earthquakes

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Around 4,000 people have been evacuated overnight from an Icelandic town after hundreds of tremors were felt from a volcanic eruption, as the nation declares a state of emergency.

Iceland declared a state of emergency on Friday after a series of powerful earthquakes rocked the country's southwestern Reykjanes peninsula, in what could be a precursor to a volcanic eruption near Sundhnjukagigar, some 1.86 miles north of the town of Grindavik.

The town, which is around 25 miles southwest of Reykjavik, is located near the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa resort, a popular tourist destination which closed temporarily earlier this week as a precaution.

Nearly 800 quakes were recorded between midnight and 2pm on Friday with the shallowest depth at between 1.86 to 2.18miles, the Icelandic Meteorological Office said.
