Iceland's Blue Lagoon has fully reopened all operations for the first time since early November, after the geothermal spa had been forced to either completely or partially close its facilities due to nearby volcanic activity.

All of the site's venues have resumed operating, including its Blue Lagoon, Blue Café, Lava restaurant, Retreat and Silica hotels, Retreat Spa and on-site store. The last facility to reopen was the Moss Restaurant, which welcomed back guests on Wednesday.

The Blue Lagoon continues to operate on a modified schedule, however, with updated opening hours available on the spa's website. The site is currently open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., with its Lava Restaurant closing slightly later, at 9 p.m., and the Moss Restaurant open Wednesdays to Sundays from 6 p.m.

In a statement, the Blue Lagoon said that while "our operational units are located within an area at risk due to seismic activity," the attraction is working with experts who "continue to closely monitor the area and the ongoing developments of seismic activity through round-the-clock, real-time analysis."

The Icelandic Tourist Board said no volcanic activity has been detected since the morning of Jan. 16.
