A volcano erupted in Iceland on Friday some 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the capital Reykjavik, the Icelandic Meteorological Office said, as a red cloud lit up the night sky and a no-fly zone was established in the area. "Volcanic eruption has begun in Fagradalsfjall. Flight colour code is red but very little turbulence is seen on seismometers," the institute, which monitors seismic activity, wrote on Twitter. The Krysuvik volcanic system is located south of Mount Fagradalsfjall on the Reykjanes peninsula in southwestern Iceland. str/po/dl
