Eyjafjallajökull volcano in southern Iceland has erupted after an extended period of seismic restlessness.

The volcano began to erupt around midnight local time 20/21 March 2010.

Civil protection authorities report that no-one is in immediate danger, but between 500 and 600 people have been evacuated from their homes.

Pictures and reports indicate a fissure eruption; lava flows and ashfall have been reported and roads have been closed.

University of Iceland geologist Tumi Gudumundsson is quoted by ABC News as saying that the eruption is located beneath an ice-free portion of the volcano, lessening the chances of a glacial flood being caused by melted ice.

This could change, however, as the eruption develops.
