Iceland has experienced a series of earthquakes on the Reykjanes peninsula, just south of the country\u2019s capital, Reykjavik. The town of Grindavik has since been evacuated.<\/p>\n

While there hasn\u2019t been a volcanic eruption yet, it is likely that one could occur and authorities are closely monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n

Travel insurance expert and general manager at World Nomads, Jonathan Frankham, said: \u201cIceland is full of natural beauty, but it is also full of natural hazards, which are perhaps its number one draw card.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Brits travelling to or around Iceland, we\u2019d strongly recommend keeping up to date with the FCO advisories and be prepared to adjust your plans. At present, the advice remains cautionary, and travel continues as normal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat said, Iceland\u2019s volcanoes like to throw the European air traffic network into chaos. In spring 2010, the now infamous volcano with its tongue twisting name, Eyjafjallajokull erupted, causing over 100,000 flights in Europe to be cancelled.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt\u2019s understandable that some Brits may want to know what this means for their holiday plans, some may not want to or fear they\u2019ll be unable to travel if the situation escalates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d like to stress that if the current FCO guidance remains advisory, insurance coverage stands as normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently there is no FCO advice warning British tourists against travelling to Iceland although tourists are advised to monitor local media for updates and follow the advice of authorities.<\/p>\n
