The most recent eruption of the volcano on the peninsula began on December 18, after the authorities completely evacuated the town of Grindavik — from which about 4,000 people were evacuated — and closed the Blue Lagoon spas, which are a popular tourist destination.
Grindavik was ultimately not in danger from the volcano’s eruption, as the lava flowed in the opposite direction from the town.
