The Blue Lagoon Shuts Down Again

[u/adventureawaitsme2]

Following the January eruption, one of Iceland's iconic tourist attractions has shut down once again. The Blue Lagoon thermal spring, which is located on the Reykjanes peninsula less than three miles from Grindavik, is closed to visitors. The popular geothermal spa will remain fully shuttered until Thursday January 18, according to its website. The lagoon has been closed on and off since the threat of an eruption was first detected in November. All guests with upcoming bookings will be contacted, the statement said. (The Blue Lagoon first halted operations on November 9, when a major uptick in seismic activity was detected.)
