Lava flow from Iceland volcano prompts evacuation of Blue Lagoon resort

A recent volcanic eruption on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula has caused the evacuation of the popular Blue Lagoon resort. Lava flows have reached the resort's parking lot and service building, but air travel remains unaffected. The eruption, which began on November 20, is part of a series that started in December 2022. This marks the tenth eruption in the Reykjanes Peninsula's new volcanic phase, which began in March 2021. The Blue Lagoon will be closed until November 29 due to safety concerns. Despite the disruption, Iceland continues to attract tourists, with volcanic activity potentially becoming a new draw for visitors.
