Volcano in southwest Iceland has erupted, spewing lava and smoke across a large area after weeks of intense earthquake activity
Grindavík residents, all 3,800 of whom were evacuated from their homes on 10 November, were only yesterday told by police that they may be permitted to return to their homes full-time by Christmas.
Initially they were allowed to return only during very strict short timeslots to collect essential items, leaving many people homeless and everyone in limbo.
