Tourists have been allowed back to Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula to witness the magic of the ongoing volcanic eruptions. Lava continued to bubble in the Sundhnúksgígar crater row early on Saturday, to the delight of those who made it to the site.

Tourists at Iceland's Blue Lagoon geothermal spa were forced to pack up and get out as a volcanic eruption left lava oozing from a 3,000-foot fissure in the ground.

A volcano erupted on July 16, 2025 in southwest Iceland, emitting smoke and dramatic flows of glowing hot yellow and orange lava.
