Scientists detected about 300 earthquakes in the area around the Bardarbunga volcano since Tuesday, which could herald an eruption.
The volcano, in the north-west region of Iceland’s Vatnajokull glacier, could be set to spew out a huge ash cloud.
Now more than 300 people near to the volcano have been evacuated by the national civil protection agency as a “precautionary” safety measure.
It said: “It cannot be ruled out that the seismic activity in Bardarbunga could lead to a volcanic eruption.”
