The UK Foreign Office has issued another update for travellers to Iceland, following a volcanic eruption close to the capital Reykjavik and the country’s international airport.
The FCDO has updated its advice after ‘intense seismic activity’ on the Reykjanes Peninsula last week developed into a ‘volcanic fissure eruption’.
People have been told to stay away from the area, in the southwest of Iceland.
The FCDO advice says: “On 5 July 2023 Reykjanes Peninsula began experiencing intense seismic activity.
“A volcanic fissure eruption started 10 July.
“Police have advised people to stay away from the area and show caution around mountains, hills and slopes due to danger of rock fall and landslides.”
The FCDO added the emergency services in Iceland can be contacted on 112.
Traffic at Reykjavik’s international Keflavik airport has not been disrupted, according to the airport’s website.
