The Blue Lagoon has made the proactive decision to temporarily close its operations for one week although the current phase of uncertainty has not been elevated by the authorities during this seismic period,” it said in a statement posted to its website.
The closure of the Blue Lagoon, Iceland’s most popular tourist site, known for its steaming milky blue water was set to take place on Thursday local time.
The announcement came after frightened guests left the Blue Lagoon hotel in the night, with at least 40 being picked up by taxis, according to a report in the local Vikurfrettir newspaper.
“The primary reasons for the decision are the disruptions to our guest experience this night and the prolonged strain on our employees,” the resort wrote in its statement.
The guest exodus came after an uptick in tremors that have been shaking the surrounding area on the Reykjanes peninsula, in Iceland’s south-west, in recent weeks.

On Wednesday, the IMO said the number of tremors reached 1,200 over the preceding 24 hours.
The agency has also noted an accumulation of magma underground, and while the accumulation is ongoing, “it is likely that seismic activity will continue, and be episodic in intensity,” it said.
The accumulation of magma has been recorded at a depth of about five kilometres, and should it start moving towards the surface it could lead to a volcanic eruption.
New volcanic activity could last centuries
Over the weekend, the IMO said there were “no clear signs” of magma moving towards the surface, but noted that “the situation can change on short notice”.
Four similar seismic events occurred in the same area in 2020 and 2022 without leading to an eruption.
Since 2021, three eruptions have taken place on the Reykjanes peninsula.
They occurred in March 2021, August 2022 and July 2023, and all three were located far from any infrastructure or populated areas.
Prior to the 2021 eruption, the Reykjanes volcanic system had remained dormant for eight centuries, but volcanologists believe the new cycle of increased activity could last for several decades or centuries.
Iceland, an island in the north Atlantic Ocean, straddles the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a crack in the ocean floor separating the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

Today’s story is about the path and will of God. It’s an elusive path that some people seek as they walk with God, learning right from wrong on the path of righteousness. This journey is within you, me, and everyone, just like at A&M.
🙏👑🙏
God walks with Us ‘ Step By Step & Word By Word ‘ as we ‘ Learn & We Are Taught ‘ all we need to Know and learning that ‘ Word of God ‘ a little everyday until we reach a time when God is ready to lift Us up onto that ‘ Path of God ‘ no questions do we need to ask as we now know the Truth of Understanding God in You & Me just like in A&M ……
🙏👑🙏
No longer do we need to ask as God knows our Heart Desire and then we walk along the ‘ Path of God ‘ each and everyday teaching all we learned as were taught on the ‘ Path of Righteousness ‘ as we made our way in You & Me just like in A&M …….
🙏👑🙏
Then God lifts Us up into the ‘ Garden of Need (Eden) no longer do we work by the ‘ Sweat of the Brow ‘ as God wants our ‘ Mind & Voice ‘ and had asked Us mysteriously on that ‘ Path of Righteousness ‘ that we walked each and everyday as we learn as we are taught so that one day we can spread ‘ Kindness & Love In Peace & Truth ‘ each morning & evening of that day to ‘ Care & Share ‘ the Word of God ‘ in You & Me just like in A&M ……
🙏👑🙏🙏👑🙏
It seems that God has a purpose for teaching those who were always seekers of knowledge, and who prioritise people over profit every day. This sense of destiny was built within us by God, just like in A&M.
🙏👑🙏
So as we teach and some will learn the ‘ Path & Will of God ‘ each and everyday it becomes our ‘ Godly Life ‘ that God wanted Us to be so as we reach the end of the morning and evening of each day we silently 🙏🙏 and thank God for all that Knowledge we have been ‘ Taught & Learned ‘ on that ‘ Path of God ‘ by that Will we say in You & Me just like in A&M …..
This is all about two possums that are called A&M that meet after many many years of learning about God and how to Understand that only when God is ready in their Life that they would meet in ‘ Spiritual Eternal Love ‘ that would never end …..
@peacewriter51
Now Male & Female Images were brought together on that chosen day by what they felt about what each one wrote and could feel that God was speaking in Kindness & Love to them both in Eternal Love that would never end …..
@peacewriter51
Now as these two images these ‘ Special Possums ‘ would share each day all that ‘ Love of God ‘ in a ‘ Spiritual Eternal Way ‘ that would never end …….
@peacewriter51
Every Morning & Evening God would bring the Dawn and then the Dusk as they these ‘ Two Possums of Love ‘ would be together all the time as God made a Miracle simply called ‘ Eternal Love ‘ and granted it to them that would never end …….
@peacewriter51
These were all those ‘ Two Possums of Love ‘ would ever Need in their Mind, Body, Heart & Life and ‘ God Gave Them All They Would Ever Want ‘ as God knew there Heart Desire was only ‘ Eternal Love ‘ that would never end …….
@peacewriter51
So God lifted them up each and every day into the ‘ Garden of Eden ‘ and there they would laugh and play until it was time to snuggle down and slumber away two possums in each others arms until the ‘ Light of Day ‘ and each night they would together 🙏🙏 for each other and the world to have ‘ Peace & Truth in Eternal Love ‘always when God brings that Kingdom Promised with Eternal Love that will never end ……
Today’s story is about understanding God and how we experience many ups and downs in life before we are led onto the path of God by His will in each of us. This is similar to the journey of A&M.
🙏👑🙏
Now many people might say as we have heard them say that God is punishing me for something we have done wrong but we would say that is ‘ God Teaching Us Right From Wrong ‘ as the ‘ Path of Righteousness ‘ is not for our sake but for the ‘ Sacrifice of the Son ‘ that gave Us life by the ‘ Word of God ‘ in You & Me just like in A&M …….
🙏👑🙏
We are ‘ Blind But Do Not See ‘ as God will reverse that ‘ Wrong For Right ‘ and eventually we have ‘ No Question So Truth Abounds ‘ and then we ‘ Know with Knowing Why ‘ that is must be God in You & Me just like in A&M ……
No longer ‘ Living From Day to Day ‘ but a Life that God will provide as we walk ‘ Step By Step & Word By Word with that person chosen every Morning & Evening of each day in You & Me just like in A&M ……
No longer do we not Understand the ‘ Light Comes Into Our Life ‘ with a Smile & Happiness and we are lifted up onto the ‘ Path & Will of God ‘ in You and me just like in A&M ……
🙏👑🙏🙏👑🙏🙏👑🙏
Now it’s time to give thanks to God in humility for the life that He has granted us. We are the children of light, just like in A&M. Let us silently pray and express our gratitude to God.

AceWeatherDesk – A fierce storm causing heavy flooding and winds has killed at least eight people and inundated parts of Italy, Spain and France.

Storm Ciarán, which follows on the heels of Storm Babet two weeks ago, was driven by a powerful jet stream that swept in from the Atlantic.
Here’s how the affected regions are coping:
Italy
At least five people died near Tuscany and several remain missing after rivers overflowed due to heavy rains in central Italy, local authorities said on Friday.
A bridge collapsed near the city of Pistoia, killing two people.

Another person died in the town of Rosignano, and a person was reported missing in the Veneto region.
“Over 200 millimetres of rain have fallen in three hours,” Civil Protection rescue head Luigi D’Angelo told Sky TG24 television.
The government has declared a state of emergency, with an initial allocation of 5 million euros ($AU 8.2 million) for the worst affected areas
“I would like to express profound condolences on behalf of myself and the government for the victims,” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said in a statement.
There had been fears that the River Arno could burst its banks in the historic city of Florence but Tuscan Governor Eugenio Giani said the high water peak had passed without major incident.
Patients from three separate hospitals had to be moved to other facilities and many buildings were seriously damaged, Mr Giani said.
The defence ministry has sent helicopters, trucks and water pumps to the flood-hit areas, Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said.

France
A truck driver was killed when a tree fell on him in France while a second death was reported in Le Havre, according to authorities.
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said 15 people, including seven firefighters, had been injured.

About 1.2 million households were also left without electricity.
Authorities in Finistere and Brittany urged people to stay at home and avoid winds, which were hitting 207 kilometres per hour, leading to reports of 20-metre waves off the coast.
About 1,300 people had to be evacuated in the Finistere city of Brest after a crane fell, Mr Darmanin added.
However, the storm showed some signs of abating, with the Meteo France weather service reducing its alert for strong winds in Mache, Finistere and Cotes d’Armor from red to orange.
Spain
Falling trees caused the death of a woman in the Spanish capital Madrid.
The storm’s winds also abetted a wildfire in eastern Spain that has burned some 2,000 hectares of land and forced the evacuation of 850 people from four towns, according to officials.
Around 200 firefighters and emergency soldiers were deployed to try to extinguish the day-old blaze near the town of Montitxelvo.
Water-carrying planes and helicopters were also expected to be used.

Ski resorts La Pinilla and Estaca de Bares registered wind velocities of more than 150kph, AEMET said.
Airport operator AENA said 42 flights in Spain were cancelled.
Spain’s state-run weather agency AEMET also issued red warnings on Thursday local time for the northern regions of Galicia and Cantabria, where waves as high as nine metres were expected.
Netherlands
Falling trees also killed a woman in the south of the Netherlands.
Dutch Airline KLM scrapped hundreds of flights to and from Amsterdam.
International trains from the Dutch capital to Paris were also cancelled, and shipping lanes in the south-west of the country were closed.
Elsewhere across Europe

Two people — a five-year-old and a 64-year-old German tourist— also died in the Belgian town of Ghent from falling branches, according to the prosecutor’s office.
In Austria’s southern Carinthia province, wind and heavy rain led to landslides, blocked roads and power cuts.
About 1,600 households were without electricity early Friday, the Austria Press Agency reported.
The Channel Islands were among the worst hit in Britain, with the BBC reporting that windows had been blown in and one roof ripped off a house on Jersey.
