A state of emergency has been declared in parts of Iceland as volcanoes in the area appear to have woken up. Sky reports that on Friday alone in a matter of hours the area had more than 800 earthquakes.
Emergency personnel officials in Iceland have launched a state of emergency declaration following weeks of earthquakes in Mount Thorbjorn on the Reykjanes Peninsula. In the area, it is understood there is a buildup of magma underneath the surface which is causing the obscene number of earthquakes.
