Iceland declared a state of emergency on Saturday over fears of a volcanic eruption after a series of earthquakes.

Authorities have ordered thousands of people living in the southwestern town of Grindavík to leave as a precaution.

Thousands of tremors have been recorded around the nearby Fagradalsfjall volcano in recent weeks.

However, seismic activity has decreased in south-west Iceland, according to scientists.
