Hundreds of people have left their homes in south-western Iceland because of fears of a volcanic eruption under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier.

Several earthquakes have been registered in the area and geologists are warning of destructive floods.

The volcano under the glacier last erupted March 20 after almost 200 years of silence.
