For the second time in less than a month, a volcano has erupted in south-west Iceland engulfging houses in the town of Grindavík in fire.

On Sunday, two fissures formed near the town after an increase in seismic activity that prompted authorities to evacuate the community the day before. At the time of writing, live images from TV broadcaster RUV showed at least three houses were on fire.

We want to speak to people who have been affected by the eruption. Have you been evacuated? Where are you now and what is your situation? Where are you staying? How did you feel about leaving your home? What damage has your town suffered? What are your concerns?
