Thousands of curious onlookers have flocked to an erupting volcano in Iceland to marvel at the hypnotic display of glowing red lava, the bravest of them grilling hot dogs and marshmallows over the smoldering embers.

The eruption of a fissure near Mount Fagradalsfjall, which began late Friday, was the first in the same volcanic system in about 900 years.

A volcano erupted just 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Iceland's capital Reykjavik on March 19, with red lava spewing out of the ground and a crimson glow lighting up the night sky.

It appear to be related to a large volcanic explosion that took place about 760,000 years ago

The phenomenon is not connected to the dormant volcano, scientists reassured

Indonesia's Mount Merapi volcano on Java island has erupted, sending up a cloud of ash and prompting authorities to warn of the risk of lava flows reaching roads.

The first "arm" sprung from the south-east crater and is heading towards the Valle del Bove, while the second lava overflow was detected from the north side of the same crater.
The lava eruption, followed by a cloud of ash, being several hundred meters high, was spectacular, eyewitnesses said, writes the British Express.
