Iceland volcano erupts after Blue Lagoon evacuated

The Blue Lagoon and the town of Grindavik were ordered to evacuate after earthquakes hit the area.

www.bbc.com

'A volcano has erupted on the Reykjanes Peninsula in south-west Iceland after a nearby town and the Blue Lagoon spa, a popular tourist destination, were evacuated.

Iceland's Meteorological Office said the eruption started around 09.45 local time (10:45 BST) just north of the small town of Grindavík. The crack that opened in the ground now measures about 1,200m (3,937ft) and continues to extend southward.

UT Post in thread 'UT - Onni Llmari Raassina, 29, came to visit Utah from Finland, missing since 5 March 2025'

Apr 4, 2025

Well, getting a taxi from outside the airport to a destination 150 miles away must have cost so much money.

Also, to note, he's from Finland, so it's not like he wouldn't have any cold-weather or and boots.

Finland is also full of lakes too. Thousands of them. Crazy to think he came to the USA to visit one. Unless, if course, it was just his phone that pinged there and he is elsewhere.

I hope the taxi driver has been interviewed. He could've got some tidbits of information of the long 150 mile taxi ride!

Must be ca. 500$ if not more…
