Several hundred people have been evacuated from their homes, as a volcano erupted in southern Iceland. The volcano near the Eyjafjallajoekull glacier began to erupt shortly after midnight, leading to road closures in the area. <br/><br/>A Civil protection officer said, no one is in immediate danger, but 500 people are being moved from the area. <br/><br/>It is almost 200 years since a volcano last erupted in the region. There are fears that the volcano could cause flooding, as it causes ice to melt on the glacier.
