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

The geothermal facility announced on Sunday (14 January) it would be closed for the next two days following a volcanic eruption south-east of Hagafell mountain.

 

“We took the precautionary measure of evacuating all our operational units,” the Blue Lagoon said. “Consequently, we will remain closed until Tuesday, 16 January.”

 

The spa assured all visitors with bookings during the closure period would be contacted, while urging those wishing to modify or cancel their bookings to use the booking portal.
