The particulate suspension from that one should fix global warming for a few years 🙂

Is that the Hardnerderfjørdlergrünlingsdottirkyvikssøngnurløfkskenfjørd volcano?

This one is easy to say - Grimsvotn. It's under an ice cap called Vatnajokull.

It erupted in 1996 in a fairly big way, a huge mel****er flood burst out from the ice cap 2 weeks after the eruption.

Thankfully, I'm not flying next week! Will watch this with interest, though!

Just been on RT.COM, and they say no problem at the moment, but dust due to arrive in Scotland Friday, so watch RT.COM for more details.

Russia today, on freeview.

I was in Florida when the last one erupted. Ended up stuck there for an extra 9 days 🙂

I'm going to Iceland this summer. Looks like Grimsvotn is high on the list of 'must do' things 🙂

I'm [i]supposed[/i] to be off to Iceland a week on friday, with bike, for 3 weeks scooting about. Would have been more use if it had saved all this erupting lark until I was there.
