"Iceland's Blue Lagoon Evacuated Amid New Volcanic Eruption"

TL;DR Summary
A new volcanic eruption in south-west Iceland has forced the evacuation of the Blue Lagoon spa and the town of Grindavik. The fissure, over 2.5km long, is releasing a large volume of lava, prompting a state of emergency. Most residents had already been evacuated due to previous eruptions, but officials are urging the remaining few to leave. The eruption has not affected air travel, but power has been cut off to Grindavik as a precaution. Scientists believe the area is entering a new volcanic era that could last for decades.
