A volcano in Iceland erupts, leading to evacuations near the Blue Lagoon and Grindavik.

A volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula erupted on July 16, leading to the evacuation of tourists and residents from nearby areas, including the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa and the town of Grindavik. This is the 12th eruption since 2021, with lava flowing from a fissure about 700-1000 meters long. The Icelandic authorities have raised the alert level and advised residents to monitor air quality due to gas pollution. The eruption, while disruptive, is not expected to threaten infrastructure or cause air traffic disruption.
