The close by geothermal spa Blue Lagoon had closed on Thursday, it stated.
The earlier eruption within the space began on Jan 14 and lasted roughly two days, with lava flows reaching the outskirts of the Grindavik fishing city, whose practically 4,000 inhabitants had been evacuated, setting some homes alight.
Thursday’s eruption came about a way from Grindavik and was unlikely to pose a direct risk to the city, Icelandic geophysicist Ari Trausti Gudmundsson advised Reuters.
“Nevertheless it might pose some risk to the highway to Grindavik and it might pose some risk to the ability plant and even to the Blue Lagoon,” he stated, including that the danger relied on how a lot lava in the end flowed from the bottom.
The Reykjanes outbreaks are so-called fissure eruptions that are sometimes called Icelandic-type. They don’t normally end in giant explosions or important manufacturing of ash dispersed into the stratosphere.
Reykjavik’s worldwide Keflavik airport was open and working “within the standard manner”, airport operator Isavia stated on its web site.
