Icelandic town and Blue Lagoon evacuated after volcanic eruption

The Icelandic town of Grindavik and the nearby Blue Lagoon tourist attraction have been evacuated after the area was hit by another volcanic eruption.

The eruption is the 11th since 2021, when the Reykjanes peninsula, a region south-west of Reykjavik, started its latest eruption period.

The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) said an "earthquake swarm" started at about 6.30am yesterday on the Sundhnúkur crater row in a similar place to previous eruptions, before erupting at 9.45am local time just north of the protective barrier near Grindavik. The orange-red fissure, expelling lava and smoke, quickly spread southward and by 10am local time it had already breached the defence walls north of Grindavik. Warning sirens went off in the town. By 12.35pm local time it was estimated to be 1,200 metres long.
