LONDON -- As thousands of earthquakes rumbled Iceland's southwestern coast over the weekend, local weather officials warned of a "significant likelihood" of a volcanic eruption in the coming days.
More than 2,000 earthquakes were recorded in about 48 hours, including about 1,000 in a 12-hour period on Sunday, the Icelandic Meteorological Office said in a series of updates. More than 20,000 quakes have shaken the area since late October, officials said.

We stayed in Grundavik this past summer. Nice little seacoast fishing town. Hope it survives.
Iceland is a great place to visit. A volcano visible from Grundavik was erupting while we were there.
Iceland is a geological hot spot for sure.
