“In the big picture, this is smaller than the eruption in August and the one in May,” said Magnus Tumi Guomundsson, a geophysics professor who surveyed the scene with Iceland’s Civil Protection agency, as reported by Euronews.

Key tourist attraction Blue Lagoon, located about 20km from the eruption site, was evacuated and remains closed.

Management is reassessing the situation daily, and customers with bookings can modify or cancel through the official website.

However, Keflavik International Airport, Iceland’s primary hub, is still operational, with no impact on flights. Passengers are advised to monitor updates from the airport operator, ISAVIA.

The town of Grindavik, just 8km from the eruption site, has also been evacuated as a precaution.

Authorities stressed there is no immediate danger to the town itself, though recent eruptions have caused significant damage to infrastructure and property in the area. 

“Grindavik is not in danger as it looks, and it is unlikely this crack will expand further, but nothing can be ruled out,” Guomundsson said.

This is not the first time Grindavik’s residents have been forced to flee, as in December a series of earthquakes caused significant land shifts, resulting in evacuations. 

Despite the eruption, Iceland remains safe for travellers.

Tourists are urged to avoid the Reykjanes Peninsula and follow local restrictions for safety.

Icelandic authorities are cautioning against attempting to view the eruption up close, citing safety risks. 

“This is not a tourist attraction, and you must watch it from a great distance,” said Vidir Reynisson, head of Iceland’s Civil Protection and Emergency Management.

The Icelandic Meteorological Office noted that activity appears to have peaked, with no signs of further fissure expansion.

However, volcanic events are unpredictable.

While Iceland remains open for tourism, travellers should stay informed by following updates from the Icelandic Meteorological Office and Safe Travel Iceland.
