RED ALERT: Iceland Issues New Warning After Eruption Near Volcano

Iceland on Sunday raised the alert level near its largest volcano to red, the maximum value, after a new eruption in an adjacent lava field, meaning an air traffic ban around the Bardarbunga peak.

The eruption happened shortly before 0600 GMT in roughly the same area of another and smaller eruption on Friday, according to the government’s Civil Protection office, which announced the alert.
