Lava flows from an eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwestern Iceland on Thursday, May 13, 2021. The glow from the bubbling hot lava spewing out of the Fagradalsfjall volcano can be seen from the outskirts of Iceland's capital, Reykjavík, which is about 32 kilometers (20 miles) away. Pandemic or no pandemic, the world will never stand still. That's perhaps no clearer than in Iceland where the Fagradalsfjall volcano has awoken from a slumber that has lasted 6,000 years, give or take a year or two. (AP Photo/Miguel Morenatti)
