Iceland volcano eruption releases gigantic toxic gas cloud flying towards Europe A massive cloud of toxic gas, released from Iceland's ongoing volcanic eruption, is moving across northern Europe. The scientists, who have been tracking the cloud, said that it is not likely to cause any serious health issues but warned that it may affect the ozone hole above the Arctic. An underground volcano erupted for the fourth time in Icealnd's Reykjanes Peninsula on March 16 opening up the largest fissure of the current eruption cycle and releasing a massive lava flow which narrowly stopped from flowing into the evacuated town of Grindavík. Initially, the researchers feared that the lava could reach the sea and release a plume of hydrochloric acid which can be “life-threatening“ to anyone who is living close to the coastline. However, the lava did not reach the shore.
