The Fagradals Mountain volcano on the southwestern Reykjanes Peninsula spewed lava down two sides, the Associated Press reported. The entire peninsula had not seen an eruption in 781 years.

No people or structures were in immediate danger from the volcano, and Iceland’s government said evacuations were not necessary, according to the AP. The volcano is 1.5 miles from the nearest road, and the capital of Reykjavík is about 20 miles away.
