There have been a number of eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula over the last few years. The latest looked like it may be about to begin, but there has been some reduction in activity.
A swarm of earthquakes has led to the closure of the Blue Lagoon for a week at least, and the evacuation of the town of Grindavik which, with a population of just over 3000 people. These were large enough to bring down some rocks on the approach road.
Two earthquakes, one of magnitude 3.4 and another of 3.0, rattled the Reykjanes Peninsula last night, amidst a series of around 400 tremors.https://t.co/K1FXW4wrWI

I've been fortunate to visit the Fagradasfjall lavas from an earlier eruption.
Only the Golden Circle viewing path rivals Iceland's Blue Lagoon's high level of popularity among tourists, thanks to its superb setting, calming waters, and abundant skin-nourishing effects. It is crucial to arrange every aspect of your itinerary so that you don't have any trouble getting where you're going. Blue Lagoon is practically easy to get to (Go to joy Iceland).
