Scientists want to harness the extreme power below a volcanic region in Iceland to create biothermal energy that they hope one day will replace fossil fuel.

A volcanic eruption started on the Reykjanes peninsula in southwestern Iceland on Thursday, the third to hit the area since December, authorities said.

Iceland's meteorological office on Wednesday declared that the volcanic eruption near the country's capital Reykjavik was officially over as no activity had been observed for 10 days.

The countries have favorable policies for working parents and spend heavily on the childcare system, according to a report.
