The Blue Lagoon, a geothermal pool southwest of Reykjavik, will initially remain closed for a week until next Thursday. An important reason for the decision is the continued pressure on employees, the operators say on the website of the popular swimming pool with its special white-blue water. The seismic activity will be closely monitored in the coming days and the situation will be reassessed accordingly.
The Blue Lagoon is located on the Reykjanes Peninsula, approximately 40 kilometers southwest of Reykjavik and just under a 20-minute drive from Keflavik International Airport. At the end of October, a new series of earthquakes with thousands of tremors began on the peninsula – such earthquake swarms had heralded volcanic eruptions three times since 2020.
According to the Icelandic weather authority Vedurstofa, there were hundreds of earthquakes in the area on Thursday night, including several with a magnitude of more than 4.0 and one approaching magnitude 5.0. It is still unclear whether this is also a harbinger of an eruption this time.
