Aerial footage shows lava spewing out of a volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula after months of extreme seismic activity.

About 4,000 people were earlier evacuated from the fishing town of Grindavik and the nearby Blue Lagoon geothermal spa was closed.

The eruption started north of the town at 10:17 local time (10:17 GMT), the Icelandic Met Office said.

The region around the capital Reykjavik has been experiencing an increase in earthquake activity since late October.

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