IS IT SAFE TO TRAVEL TO ICELAND? YES, IT IS!
As news spread the other day that another volcanic eruption had started on the Reykjanes Peninsula, some of you might have started to wonder whether it is safe to travel to Iceland at the moment...
The short answer is: YES!
And here is why...
SOME KEY FACTS:
1. Due to its geological position along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (the plate boundary of the Eurasian and the North American plate), Iceland regularly experiences seismic and volcanic activity.
2. The current eruption is confined to a small area on the Reykjanes Pensinsula with road closures in place around the affected area. Please respect those closures.
3. The nature of the eruption poses no threat to travellers or their health.
4. Air traffic to and from Iceland is operating normally, and Iceland remains a safe destination.
5. All services around Iceland are operating as usual.
