The sky glows red above Grindavik after a volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula erupted on December 19 after weeks of intense earthquake activity.

Footage captured by local filmmaker Nuno Felisardo shows smoke rising from the eruption as lava burst out of the volcano.

The Met Office said that the eruption was located about 4km (2.5 miles) north-east of Grindavik and the seismic activity was moving towards the town.

Around 4,000 have already been evacuated from the nearby fishing town.
