Iceland update

Two weeks today, we are due to fly to Iceland for a week's vacation, and hopefully some Northern Lights spotting.

Last week, however, the long-awaited re-eruption of the volcanic fissures in and around the Blue Lagoon, and the town of Grindavik, which resulted in one opening up on the edge of town and destroying at least one house before stopping a few hours later.

We have heard nothing from the organisers regarding the trip's status, but as things stand, I guess we're still going, though the Blae Lagood and Norther Lights Hotel are closed, perhaps forever.

If there isn't another major eruption, then we shall go, but it seems there is an expectation of something happening at the end of this mornth, or early next month. When we should be there.

Let us see what the volcanic Gods have planned for the next few weeks.
