Arab Weather - Authorities in Iceland said, on Thursday, that a volcano is spewing lava and smoke for the second day in a row, and winds carrying toxic gases are expected to blow away from the capital, Reykjavik.

The Icelandic Meteorological Office reported that the volcanic eruption, which is the fifth since December, is the strongest in the region since the resumption of volcanic activity on the Reykjanes Peninsula three years ago after a period of dormancy that lasted eight centuries. The authorities issued a new evacuation order for the town of Grindavik, to which a small number of residents have returned. Residents after lava damaged several homes earlier this year. It also ordered the evacuation of the nearby Blue Lagoon Resort, a major tourist attraction in the area.

The Civil Protection Authority said in a statement that volcanic activity declined late on Wednesday evening, and continued in a stable state last night, and there were no reports of casualties.

The Met Office added, "Winds are expected to blow from the west today, and polluted gases may then spread to the east over southern Iceland."

Sensors showed that air quality remained "very good" in the capital, Reykjavik, and surrounding areas, while a weather station near the volcano area indicated that these gases were "harmful to the health of vulnerable populations."

Lava flowed on the main road leading to Grindavik, and photos published by local media on Thursday showed that the road was partially covered by large blocks of dry black rocks.
