A state of emergency has been declared in southern Iceland because of a volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula - the fourth since December.

The last time the Reykjanes Peninsula had a period of volcanic activity was 800 years ago - and the eruptions went on for decades.

This is now the seventh eruption since 2021, and scientists believe the area is entering a new volcanic era that could last for decades or even centuries.

The BBC's Sofia Bettiza explains how the frequent eruptions mean Iceland could be "entering a new volcanic era which could last decades".
