It pumped lava up to 80 metres (260ft) into the air, disrupting life in the Reykjanes peninsula in the south-west of the country. The lava flow also hit thermal-based water pipes in the region just south of the capital, Reykjavík, disrupting the supply of hot water to more than 20,000 people and leading the Civil Protection Agency to raise its alert level to emergency status
