I know I'll sound like an egotistical asshole, but I assume that Icelanders are smart enough to deal with this with a minimum of effort and no bloodshed, and just want to know:
Is there a risk of impacting transatlantic flights over the next month?
I got stuck in the US when the big ash cloud went up from the unpronounceable volcano (2010? 2008?), I have to get there again before Christmas and I'd dearly like not to repeat the experience.
- greybox 3y agoThere's little chance of volcanic ash being ejected, as this isn't underneath a glacier this time. Although the pressure built up at the site is quite high. While it may not impact transatlantic flights, if the eruption is large enough it could impact flights from & to Keflavik airport, but again there's little chance of that due to the predicted eruption site being on the east of a ridgeline, which should mean that there will be less lava flowing west.

It's valid for european postage, good for any mail from Iceland to Europe, just to send a nice reminder to the continent what Iceland can do. I received one of these and I mean, it's just perfect.
- pohuing 3y agoThe stamp contains some of the ash, that's a pretty cool touch
