Residents nearby and the famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa in southwestern Iceland have had to evacuate once more due to a volcanic eruption, as reported by the national broadcaster RUV.

The eruption commenced at about 4 a.m. after a significant seismic swarm occurred on the Reykjanes Peninsula, located southwest of Reykjavik, according to Iceland’s Met Office.

Following the onset of seismic activity, the town of Grindavik was swiftly evacuated, prompting campers and visitors at the Blue Lagoon to hurriedly gather their belongings, as noted by RUV.

Lava from the eruption is flowing southeast from a fissure in the barren landscape that is 2,296 to 3,280 feet wide, but the molten rock isn’t threatening any infrastructure, the Met Office said.

Grindavik has been evacuated repeatedly since November 2023 when a volcano in the area came to life after lying dormant for some 800 years.
