Despite increased seismic activity on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula, flights are unaffected, and travel remains normal. The town of Grindavík, near Keflavik International Airport, has been evacuated as a precaution. While the UK Foreign Office acknowledges the rising potential for a volcanic eruption, travel advice stops short of advising against trips. Package holidays proceed as usual, with the exception of Blue Lagoon closures. Travelers can't claim insurance unless they have rare "cancel for any reason" policies. Despite the geological unrest, travel enthusiasts find late November opportune for a value-packed visit to witness the Northern Lights in Iceland.
