Cuando no lo vi en la marca de 35 minutos, empecé a preguntarme qué había salido mal. Y cuando se acercaban los 40 minutos y seguía sin aparecer, salí a buscarlo.¿Se había perdido? ¿Habló con un desconocido? ¿Lo había atropellado un c...

AP PHOTOS: Rivers and fountains of red-gold volcanic lava light up the dark skies in Icelandic town

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:59:09 GMT

Rivers of lava spewed from a fissure in the mountainside, snaking downwards and erupting in fountains of red and gold molten rock when the Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted this week in a fishing town in southwestern Iceland. The fiery liquid illuminates the smoke-filled sky in Grindavik, a small fishing town just 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the capital, Reykjavik.The eruption began Monday night, but it was no surprise: The area has been active for two years, with thousands of small earthquakes heralding the near-certain awakening of the volcano. Civil defense personnel are on high alert, blocking access to the road leading to the mountain, and flying in a helicopter over the lava floes to monitor volcanic activity. As Friday’s winter solstice nears — when Iceland sees just three hours of sunlight a day — residents gather, watching from a safe distance, to see the natural spectacle lighting up the long-dark sky. The lava is about 1,200 degrees Celsius (2,200 degrees Fahrenheit). The ...

Why bridges, overpasses are more dangerous in the winter E-470 has tolls because it relies on the profit for maintenance. It doesn't receive state or federal funding, so the tolls go towards paying debt service, operations and roadway improvement projects.  While it's highly unlikely that these tolls will get removed, they're at least not increasing for the upcoming year.Toll rates are reviewed and set annually by E-470’s Board of Directors, except this year, the eight jurisdictions voted to freeze the toll rate.Currently, E-470 has $1.3 billion in outstanding bond debt, but the board decided to freeze the cost of tolls to keep the road...
