The Blue Lagoon in Iceland, a major tourist attraction, has closed for at least a week after a “seismic swarm” of earthquakes raised fears of a volcanic eruption. The Guardian reports that visitors fled the resort connected to the geothermal spa outside Reykjavík. In the last two weeks, there have been some 22,000 earthquakes in the region, with 1,000 of them coming just after midnight Thursday.
