Iceland volcano lava sets house on fire in Iceland

As we've been reporting, lava has now reached the evacuated town of Grindavik, and multiple houses are on fire.

The footage below shows a swathe of lava flow into the town, covering the side of one house as it goes up in flames.

Later in the video, which was recorded from a helicopter, you can see where exactly the lava is coming from: a fissure that opened up close to the town a few hours ago.

The bulk of the lava field is further away from the town, covering the landscape.

A nearby volcano erupted early this morning.
