Winds were expected to carry poisonous gas pollution away from the capital Reykjavik, authorities said.

Magma had been accumulating underground on the Reykjanes peninsula near Iceland's capital Reykjavik since the last eruption in February.

The eruption sent fountains of molten rock soaring from a roughly 3 km-long fissure.

The eruption left a trail of damage to roads and pipelines, cutting hot water to parts of Reykjanes peninsula during freezing temperatures.

Fountains of lava spews from 3 km long fissure.

Authorities and geologists warned that danger still persisted.

The eruption began early on Sunday north of the town, which just hours before had been evacuated for the second time since November.

The eruption for now looks set to spare a nearby town that was evacuated following weeks of earthquakes.

A volcano erupted Monday night on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland, the Icelandic Meteorological Office said.

Icelandic women went on a 24-hour strike on Tuesday over gender inequality, including the Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir.

Experts from the IMO will assess where exactly the lava is emerging and how the eruption evolves over the coming hours.

It will take 131 years to close the global gender gap, but some countries are much closer to achieving gender parity than others.
