Multiple houses and buildings in the Icelandic town of Grindavik have been engulfed in flames after lava surrounded them.
Lava flows have slowed in the south-west, with a meteorological expert telling the BBC that the situation near Grindavik had “very much eased” on Monday.
The town was originally evacuated in November after an earlier eruption, with some residents being temporarily allowed home. Defences were then built in December, to prevent lava reaching homes, but some had been partially breached.
Drone footage from 14 January shows the extent of the damage being caused by lava that spewed from the ground, after two fissures opened nearby.
