Iceland's Blue Lagoon has been forced to close again due to another volcanic eruption

The spa had been due to review the closure on Wednesday (3 January); an update issued late on Wednesday confirmed the closure had been extended until close of play on Friday (5 January) after meteorologists monitoring the ongoing seismic activity in southwest Iceland warned of the potential for further volcanic eruptions.

 

“At that time [Friday], the situation will be reassessed,” the spa said in a statement. “All guests with confirmed bookings in the upcoming days will be contacted.”
