Tourists at Iceland's Blue Lagoon geothermal spa were forced to pack up and get out as a volcanic eruption left lava oozing from a 3,000-foot fissure in the ground.

The eruption occurred in the early hours of July 16. Officials say lava is flowing towards uninhabited areas and is not an immediate danger to those nearby

A volcanic eruption in southwest Iceland has prompted evacuations, including at nearby tourist sites like the Blue Lagoon.

Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula experienced its ninth eruption since late 2023 on July 16, 2025, prompting evacuations at the Blue Lagoon and Grindavik. This latest event, deemed relatively small, follows a series of eruptions that began in March 2021 after eight centuries of dormancy.

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has now updated its guidance on travel to the country. It warned travellers that more eruptions are ‘likely’ and advised them to closely follow local media for any further updates. This is the ninth time the volcano has erupted since December 2023.
