"Earthquake Swarm Forces Closure of Iceland's Blue Lagoon Spa"

The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa in Iceland has temporarily closed due to a series of earthquakes in the area, raising concerns of a potential volcanic eruption. The closure, which will last for one week, has prompted some tourists to leave the resort. The Reykjanes peninsula, where the spa is located, has experienced a significant number of earthquakes, leading to an accumulation of magma underground. If the magma reaches the surface, it could trigger a volcanic eruption. Iceland has seen several volcanic eruptions in recent years, but they have occurred in unpopulated areas. The Blue Lagoon Resort and Spa will monitor the seismic activity and reassess the situation accordingly.
