Volcanic eruptions on Iceland's Holuhraun lava fields between the Bardarbunga and Askja mountains have been ongoing since they started in August, reports Wired.
The continuous outflow of lava has created a lava field spreading across more than 72 square kilometers. Air quality in the country has been hit because of sulfur dioxide emissions from the eruptions. A study has shown that about 40% of the rains that were recorded were acidic. Earthquakes have been persistent under the Bardarbunga caldera, with the most recent one being a 5.6-magnitude temblor.
