But instead of a rejuvenating morning soak, the group was met by a 6 a.m. evacuation order. Over the hill from the hotel they were staying in, a volcano had just erupted. He said that the group, made up of 14 people in total, alongside approximately 15 other guests who were staying at the hotel, then piled into vehicles and caravanned to a nearby town for safety. The hotel, called the Northern Light Inn, was about two kilometres away from the eruption when it happened, said Zizka.
The eruption left several communities on the Reykjanes Peninsula cut off from heat and hot water after a river of lava engulfed a supply pipeline. Zizka said his group got out of the area just in time, before lava crossed the road blocking the escape route.
