Volcanic eruptionsMailOnline

Iceland 's Reykjanes Peninsula is home to 70 per cent of the country's population.
It has been hit by eight eruptions in three years , forcing residents to flee their homes and tourist spots to close.
Researchers studied lava samples and seismic data from the last three years of eruptions.
They found that the peninsula sits atop a magma reservoir about 5.5 to 7.5 miles ( 9-12 km) down in the earth ’s crust.
This reservoir is likely being fed by a melting rock deep in the mantle, making it more than enough magma to keep hundreds of square miles of lava flowing at the surface.
Iceland and the Reykjanes Peninsula will likely need to brace for more volcanic activity in the future.
The discovery of the shared magma reservoir could make risk even higher as it suggests there will likely be several simultaneous eruptions along the peninsula.
Co-author Frances Deegan , Researcher at Uppsala University , says: 'We would like to stress the need for preparedness'.
