Icelanders are working to get hot water supplies fixed in thousands of houses following the third volcanic eruption in two months. The lava spewed out from a new volcanic fissure on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula in the country's southwest.

It cut the supply of hot water, which is also used to heat houses, in the southern part of the peninsula. In the meantime, schools, public pools and sport facilities in the region were closed on Friday. Electricity is still working, but the authorities are urging people in the region to limit consumption.
