Seismic activity has skyrocketed near Iceland's capital of Reykjavík, and the chances of a volcano eruption are increasing by the day. The Fagradalsfjall volcano is located on the Reykjanes Peninsula, which is also home to the famous Blue Lagoon and Reykjavík's Keflavik International Airport, and over 2,200 earthquake have been reported there in the last few days. Increased seismic activity can be signs of the volcano's common eruption, as it is one of the most active volcanoes on the planet. Due to all of this activity in the area, the Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa known for its mineral-rich waters that seem to have healing properties, has been closed for a week as a precaution in case of an eruption. More quakes in the coming days could hint at an eruption, while a stop in activity will help the Blue Lagoon open sooner.
