Discussion Lava Sightings at Blue Lagoon: What Happened?

[Crowded Cat]

A friend just sent me some photos of lava flowing close to the parking lot at the Blue Lagoon, and it looks incredible but also a bit concerning. Has anyone been there recently? What was the experience like with the lava so close? Are there safety measures in place for visitors? I’m curious about how this affects visiting the lagoon. Would love to hear any firsthand accounts or advice!

It's wild to see lava so close to a popular spot like the Blue Lagoon! While the visuals are undoubtedly stunning, it’s understandable to feel cautious. Generally, they have safety protocols in place for visitors, but the situation can change rapidly with volcanic activity. Have you checked their official updates for any new guidelines? It might also be worth looking into alternate spots if you're concerned about safety. What do you think—would you still go if the lava was nearby?
