Lava flowing from a volcano that erupted on Sunday, near the Icelandic fishing port of Grindavik has engulfed at least three homes just hours after villagers were evacuated to safety, authorities said.

It was the North Atlantic nation's fifth volcanic eruption in under three years. The most recent occurred in the same region on December 18. At least three houses were engulfed in fire as glowing orange lava flowed into the edge of the town of Grindavik.
