kim vinnell has the story. >> reporter: the earth is rumbling.volcano is covered in ice, but scientists say less than 10 kilometers from the surface magma is turning. they don't know when or where magma could surface, but with almost a thousand small earthquakes happening here every day something is eminent. we're on the eastern edge of the glacier, and the volcano is under this expanse of ice, and that is what creates the real risk for iceland. if magma comes to the surface through thick ice huge amounts of melt water will float downstream, and it could melt enough to cause serious damage. that's why authorities have evacuated hikers north of the zone. >> the magnitude will depend on the magnitude of the eruption. but the most likely is we'll get 10 to 20 times normal flow of this river. >> reporter: but it's the possibility of ash that is worrying europe. in 2010 huge plumes were sent across the continent. although scientists say any air from this volcano would be unlikely to travel as far. >> nobody is kind of in panic. nobody is panicking. i

kim vinnell has been following the events. >> reporter: the small lava eruption started at around midday and it's what's called a subglacial he runs, it's underneath the glacier that's island's biggest. scientists don't know if or when the magma will reach the surface, they don't know exactly how much pressure is in the magma chamber and whether that pressure will be enough to push through the hundreds of meters of ice at the points at which it's coming up. but thurman touring it very, very closely, there are scientists flying over the area, they will be updating this. and advising locals, advice people in the region accordingly. >>> thousands of protesters have marched in the u.s. city of ferguson in missouri to mark two weeks since police shot and killed an unarmed black teenager. several other demonstrations took place in new york and washington to protest against alleged police brutality. in st. louis, though, a counter rally was held in support of the police officer who shot michael brown. jason johnson is a professional and explains how some white americans are reacting to the shoo
