A pretty little town renowned for its tourism has been dealt a blow lasting weeks – with residents told to pack their bags and leave.<\/p>\n

Grindavik in Iceland is on alert after a\u00a0volcanic eruption is expected, with people given no date of when they can return.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But a silver lining is being floated by tourism bosses, who say the craters the seismic movement is creating will give holidaymakers even more to look at when the time is right.<\/p>\n

Some are expecting to be away from their homes for months, as no real update is given on when the natural event could happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For now, people seem to be taking a keen interest in the various sections of the vast crater that has been appearing along the boundary of two separate tectonic plates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It has stretched along a treacherous route, including underneath a Lutheran church, children\u2019s playground and the town\u2019s premier basketball team\u2019s brand new stadium.<\/p>\n

And this is all just a week before the season starts, reports the Independent.<\/p>\n

People are able to hop across the trench at times – from the Eurasian tectonic plate onto the North American one – although other sections go so deep that it is difficult for the human eye to see the bottom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Iceland\u2019s spokesperson for tourism, Snorri Valsson, told the Independent that Grindavik\u2019s story of chaos and survival could be an enticing one for visitors in future.<\/p>\n

He said he can imagine they will \u201ckeep a couple of sites where you could see the actual crack in the ground if feasible\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
