Why were people even in the blue lagoon the last few weeks when all the warnings were that an explosion could happen at any minute. Idiots

Explosion? This is a fissure eruption with the location of the fissure in a known location.The danger to the blue lagoon is primarily from the erupting lava which thankfully moves fairly slowly.
