Iceland 's Blue Lagoon resort evacuated after eruption of volcanic fissure near StÃra SkÃgfell hill.

The eruption is the seventh in a series that began last December , and the tenth in the Reykjanes Peninsula’s relatively new volcanic phase starting in March 2021 .

Despite billows of mostly sulfur dioxide gas rising from the lava, the event did not disrupt air travel.
