Suðurnes Chief of Police said that the evacuation of Grindavík and the Blue Lagoon went very smoothly.
A volcano has erupted in Iceland for the seventh time this year, triggering evacuations in Grindavík and the Blue Lagoon after a state of emergency was declared.
The Icelandic Meteorological Office says the fissure appears to have extended to three kilometres in length, and the edge of the lava flow is approximately 700 to 800 metres from Grindavík Road. The office also said the eruption was smaller than the previous one in August this year.
