Tragedy in Grindavík town.

 A few days ago, a man fell into a crevasse. He was working to putty in surface cracks with another worker. The other man had to shrink away, then the incredible thing happened that the ground opened up and the man fell down. Rescuers descended into the crevasse 20 meters deep and searched for two days with drones, but did not find the man. There was a strong underground river down there that had probably taken the man away. The night after the rescuers stopped searching, there was a rumbling in the air and great earthquakes began and new cracks opened up everywhere. Shortly after, an eruption began. Rescuers had built ramparts to stop the lava and protect the town. Then the strange thing happened that a new eruption opened inside the ramparts and the glowing lava floated into the town and the houses began to burn. All residents have left the town for the second time since last December.
