Red alert over Iceland volcano: Authorities issue aviation warning after small eruption 28 miles from Bardarbunga

  • Eruption this morning happened in roughly the same place as one on Friday
  • Authorities said lava fountains about 165ft high erupted from the fissure
  • The red warning code means no flights are allowed in an area of about 40 square nautical miles north of the area, up to 6,000 feet from the ground
  • But aviation officials said the restrictions do not affect commercial flights
