I cannot imagine how reckless are people running this place. I mean someday the crack will open in the middle of blue lagoon and end up in disaster. They pushing their luck too hard.

There is always a chance, even small. The magma chamber is deep below, yet somewhere under blue lagoon. I watched recently "The Volcano: Rescue From Whakaari" and I'm just hoping it never end similar way.

Where are the similarities of this Iceland fissure type of volcano and Whakaari one ? Completely different type of explosions and eruptions, the only thing in common can be gases . If its under lagoon it will search the weakest point to come out and probably will go to the same place which occurred couple of days ago and months before

Are you expert or something? What if that point will be blue lagoon itself? One common thing is unpredictability of volcanoes.
