According to Visir.is the Gunnuhver geothermal area, Reykjanes peninsula, was closed to public yesterday evening as piping hot clay was being projected from the hot spring.

 The area, which is as popular tourist attraction, gets its name from a ghost called Gunna who, over four centuries ago, was the cause of much havoc in the area. A minister managed to trick the ghost who eventually fell into one of the hot springs and perished.

Some further changes have been detected in the area which is now being monitored by scientists and local police.
