This is what happens when you form your country on a giant rip in the Earth’s crust.
What a dramatic picture. So glad my new Chromebook allows me to enlarge items on the screen. Hope this event does not damage air transport, or ruin the growing season in Europe like the Laki Fissure eruption in 1783(?)did, helping to cause the French Revolution.
Trump’s fault. Trump and those damned SUVs.
Women and minorities hardest hit.
[and not under any circumstances go close to the eruption site or on Reykjanesbraut.]
Well, at least not without a new box of Scrabble.
“Reykjanesbraut”
Well, that’s a 30 score.
On a serious note, that is quite a picture.
With all that SO2 in the air mixed with China’ pollution we should be having a cool Summer ihe the Eastern U.S.

About 15 years ago there was another eruption in Iceland and it halted air travel in Europe for weeks. My wife was visiting England at the time, staying with relatives so she got to extend her vacation. It worked out well for her, probably not so well for people who had to pay for a few week’s worth of extra hotels and food.
Bunch of smug greenies having a great time
Up until the volcano erupts
Because of its singular geological position, Iceland has the special conditions needed to generate geothermal energy. The high degree of volcanism, along with the world renowned expertise of Icelandic specialists in the field of geothermal energy utilization, enables Iceland to be the world leader the production of this eco-friendly, sustainable and renewable power.
Geothermal energy in Iceland is used in diverse ways, including being harnessed for heating and the production of electricity. The energy comes rather cheap. So, in the wintertime, some sidewalks in Reykjavík (Reykjavik) and Akureyri are heated, and on the 40 km long road between Reykjavik and the International Airport at Keflavík (Keflavik), the lights on the lamp posts are on the whole night.
Caused by climate change, I’m sure! /s
