It happened quickly and sent a molten stream traveling toward the Blue Lagoon, Iceland&#8217;s most famous tourist attraction. It&#8217;s a geothermal spa set in a lava field just outside the town of Grindav\u00edk that draws nearly a million visitors each year.<\/p>\n<p>Tourists were evacuated from the Blue Lagoon, Iceland&#8217;s national broadcaster R\u00daV\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruv.is\/frettir\/innlent\/2024-11-20-engin-breyting-a-rennsli-njardvikuraedar-undir-hrauni-428061\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">reported<\/a>. Some can be seen venturing startlingly close to the magma, in an apparent effort to capture the eruption on their phones, in a video published by the broadcaster. Response crews ushered them to safety before the magma roiled farther over the area, covering a section of the parking lot adjacent to the Blue Lagoon as well as a critical pipeline that funnels hot water from a geothermal power station, called Svartsengi, into the spa and around the peninsula.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-original\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/2024\/11\/21\/e932acee-b87e-4ea0-ab41-1fbb3fe8503d\/ap24326176496770.jpg?v=e306e7b9fefc168c00baa623d76d1eaf#\" alt=\"Iceland Volcano \" width=\"2048\" height=\"1153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/2024\/11\/21\/e932acee-b87e-4ea0-ab41-1fbb3fe8503d\/ap24326176496770.jpg?v=e306e7b9fefc168c00baa623d76d1eaf 1x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">This photograph provided by Civil Protection in Iceland shows a new volcanic eruption that started on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland as seen on Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Civil Protection in Iceland via AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Striking aerial footage of the situation also published by R\u00daV showed the expanse of the eruption.

Icelandic officials have not reported issues in the capital caused by the eruption.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said Thursday that volcanic activity was ongoing, with seismic monitors indicating the magma had spread over at least 7 square kilometers of land, slightly less than 4 1\/2 square miles. The Njar\u00f0v\u00edk pipeline could still function Thursday beneath the magma, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.vedur.is\/about-imo\/news\/eruption-begins-on-the-sundhnukur-fissure-swarm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a> the Icelandic Meteorological Office. Magma had crossed the road into Grindav\u00edk when the office shared its most recent update, but the eruption&#8217;s peak had seemingly passed by then and the fissure from which it originated had shortened, according to measurements taken by the National Police Commissioner&#8217;s special forces unit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Earthquakes in the area caused the ground to split and triggered the volcano, the office said.
