Around 900 earthquakes hit southern Iceland on Monday, authorities said, adding to tens of thousands of tremors that rattled the region in recent weeks as the country braces for what could become a significant volcanic eruption.

Almost 4,000 people were evacuated from Grindavík over the weekend as authorities feared that molten rock would rise to the surface of the earth and potentially hit the coastal town and a geothermal power station.

Grindavík, a small fishing town some 50 kilometres from the capital, Reykjavik, and roughly 30 kilometres from the Keflavík International Airport was evacuated as a precaution.
