Iceland’s iconic Blue Lagoon spa was forced to evacuate on Saturday as meteorologists warned of an “imminent” volcanic eruption nearby.

The spa has faced a series of closures over recent months as a wave of seismic activity continues to affect the country.

According to Iceland’s national broadcaster, lava has begun flowing after “intense seismic activity” in the area around the lagoon.

    That links to an earlier report that mentions the warning on the Icelandic Meteorological Office website - and it is there., so it looks like part of the job of meteorologist in Iceland is indeed to issue larva warning - and I notice that earthquakes feature on that page too.
