I have noticed that other volcanic events, which are occuring, which impact many people also are not being covered. Gaua and Barren Island which can produce a really large eruptions haven’t even been mentioned.
LOL.. great post and an amazing variety of links in case anyone thought only British holiday makers are upset!
Hopefully it will quite literally blow over soon! As an aside I think you may enjoy this funny on the topic I spotted on a South Africa news blog last week – The Lighter Side of Iceland volcano eruptions.
There seems to be a LOT of seismic activity this morning around a completely different volcano/glacier combo in Iceland. I’ve not been following this long, tho. Thoughts from anyone with more years obsession with this?

Thanks for the alert, EDantes. There’s a news report here:

Looking at the traces at the Iceland Met Office, it seems that the activity has calmed down again. Obviously worth watching, anyway.
Thanks for a delightful and interesting idea.
