Watch: Iceland volcano spews lava in eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula

A state of emergency has been declared in southern Iceland after another volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula - the fourth since December.

Lava has reached the eastern defences around the small, evacuated town of Grindavik, local media said.

The powerful and fast lava flows began late on Saturday - but the authorities say they have since diminished significantly.
