A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted for the third time since December, spewing lava and impacting communities. The eruption, near Grindavik, cut heat and hot water supplies, evacuating the Blue Lagoon spa. No immediate threat to the town was reported. Lava reached a pipeline, affecting several towns. The eruption's strength decreased, but steam and lava continued. The Blue Lagoon and nearby airport were affected, but no flight disruptions occurred. The Icelandic Met Office had warned of a possible eruption due to magma buildup. Iceland, prone to eruptions, faces disruptions amid ongoing seismic activity.
