Houses set alight as lava from volcano eruption reaches Icelandic town

Seismic activity intensified overnight near Grindavik, the fifth eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula in two years

Houses have caught fire in the fishing town of Grindavik in south-west Iceland after a volcano erupted for the second time in less than a month.

Two fissures formed near the town on Sunday after an increase in seismic activity that prompted authorities to evacuate the community the day before.
