Tourists and residents were forced to flee as a volcano erupted again Tuesday in southwestern Iceland. Here's the latest.

While this eruption has not affected the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik or flights arriving and departing from the country’s airports, the Blue Lagoon, which is one of Iceland’s most popular tourist attractions, was evacuated because of the eruption and will remain closed until 3pm on Wednesday April 2 as a precaution.

Lava has begun flowing from a volcano near Iceland's capital, after authorities began evacuating nearby communities. The meteorological office said an eruption is underway after previously warning of the threat.
