Iceland orders evacuations as volcano erupts for seventh time since December

forbes.com — November 21, 2024 at 05:01 PM UTC

A volcano near Iceland's capital erupted late Wednesday, marking the seventh eruption since December 2023. This eruption prompted evacuations in a nearby town and the famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, which closed as a precaution. The Blue Lagoon reported lava flow reaching its parking lot and damaging a service building. Officials warned of potential gas pollution from the eruption, which could affect nearby communities. Iceland frequently experiences volcanic activity due to its location on a tectonic plate. The recent eruptions have contributed to a decline in tourism in the region.
