The Blue Lagoon is closed through Tuesday, June 11.

Lava has leaked over the Svartsengi defense walls, where the lava flow from the Sundhnúkagígar crater row eruption reached the same height as the wall. The lava tongue has, however, been slowing down, or even stopped.

The Icelandic Coast Guard helicopter was called out to South Iceland after a car overturned near Kirkjubæjarklaustur around 8 pm yesterday.

Lava has reached Grindavíkurvegur Road just north of the Svartsengi defense walls. The gap that was in the walls has been filled.

Many running competitions have been taking off all over the country in recent years, but the interest in running has probably never been greater. As the Icelandic summer has begun, it’s the perfect choice for those who love to run to sign up for an unforgettable run with their family or friends. The competitions are diverse, so everyone should be able to find something suitable, regardless of ability and age, and whether the interest lies in street running or trail running.

Jóhannes Þór Skúlason, CEO of the Icelandic Travel Industry Association, says that the effects of high interest rates can be felt in various sectors of the tourism industry, not just in the restaurant sector.

„Eins og ég hef skilið á nýju bankaráði Landsbankans þá fór það í gegnum söluna og þá skilmála sem voru til staðar og það hefði verið skynsamlegast að klára þetta verkefni í stað þess að fara aðrar leiðir.“

“I haven’t slept much, but I feel incredibly good. My heart is full of gratitude and also a lot of humility towards the trust the people are showing me and maybe the fact that there was a record-breaking turnout and I feel like the people voted with their hearts,” Halla Tómasdóttir, Iceland’s newly-elected president, told mbl.is earlier today.

Sailor’s Day was celebrated around the country today. A large-scale celebration was held at the Reykjavík harbor, which drew a great deal of cheers from young and and old alike.

Scientists at the Icelandic Met Office noticed yesterday morning that steam was rising at a defense wall near Grindavík. It is believed that a fissure has opened up there, but magma has not yet crept up there.

The final numbers are now in the elections for President of Iceland, and Halla Tómasdóttir will be the new President of Iceland and the seventh since the republic was founded.

Security issues have been reviewed and it is assessed that operations of the Blue Lagoon can be reopened after evacuation took place on May 29 due to the last eruption. Operations will open tomorrow.

The election for the seventh president of the Republic is today. There are 13 candidates running for office. The one who wins the most votes in the election will take over the president's office on 1 August.
