The Icelandic Met Office has raised its aviation warning level near the Bardarbunga volcano to red after an eruption began overnight. Scientists said a fissure eruption 1km long started in a lava field north of the Vatnajokull glacier. Civil protection officials said Icelandic Air Traffic Control had closed the airspace above the eruption up to a height of 5,000ft. The volcano has been hit by several recent tremors. A statement from the Department of Civil Protection said the fissure eruption took place between Dyngjujokull Glacier and the Askja caldera. http://bbc.in/1sPqqRr http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
