Lava from Iceland volcano advances toward Blue Lagoon resort

A volcanic eruption on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula has intensified, with lava advancing toward the Blue Lagoon resort and nearby power station. The eruption, which began on Wednesday, is stable but has forced the evacuation of 50 homes. Lava is flowing from three active craters, with the central crater being the most active. The Icelandic Meteorological Office has issued a hazard map showing areas affected by lava flow and gas pollution, while no earthquakes have been reported. This eruption marks the seventh in less than a year in the region, which has seen increased geological activity. The area, previously dormant for 800 years, may experience ongoing eruptions for decades.
