Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula experienced another volcanic eruption on November 20, 2024, affecting major transport routes and nearing the popular Blue Lagoon spa. Prompt evacuations were executed as lava flows were captured in stunning satellite imagery.

Steady volcanic activity continues to approach the iconic Blue Lagoon resort on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, following the eruption last week. The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) reported Thursday that lava flows are expanding east and southeast from the eruptive vent near Fagradalsfjall.
