Icelandic town braces for more destruction after volcano eruption A volcano that erupted in southwest Iceland for the second time in less than a month set fire to several houses in the fishing town of Grindavik, some 40 kilometres (25 miles) south-west of the capital Reykjavik. Molten lava flows reached the outskirts of Grindavik around noon on Sunday, setting three houses alight, although the town was evacuated earlier and there was no immediate danger to people. Defensive barriers have been built to the north of the town to divert the flows of lave away.
