But the city has begun evacuating its population again. It is assumed that up to 60 people were in Grindavik at the time of the eruption.
The city's population was evacuated a year ago due to a strong earthquake, which destroyed part of the town. Residents were allowed to return on October 21.
The volcano on the peninsula last erupted on August 22.
In early November, six people have died and thousands were injured when a volcano erupted in Indonesia.
