A volcanic eruption in southwestern Iceland has led to the evacuation of local residents and the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa. The eruption began around 4 a.m. Wednesday following intense seismic activity on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Approximately 100 people were evacuated from Grindavik, and tourists from a campsite and the Blue Lagoon were also evacuated. The evacuation, lasting about 90 minutes, was deemed necessary by local authorities despite varying opinions. Lava is flowing southeast from a fissure, but currently poses no threat to infrastructure. Grindavik has faced repeated disruptions since November 2023 due to volcanic activity in the area.
