a blast from the past .. thing is, will this cause even more disruption to flight schedules ?
Iceland's main airport is only 10 miles away and remains open. In 2021 there were frequent tourist helicopter and light aircraft flights up close to the volcano while it was erupting.
This is not the type of eruption which produces a lot of ash, unlike the 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull which closed much of Europe's airspace. Main hazard is local air pollution, from erupted gases such as sulphur dioxide.
The other plus is that its location is far from houses, roads and other infrastructure.

Done more for Immigration in 5 days than Labour has in 10 years.
Couple that with no apparent effect on the stock market and you begin to wonder why we don't have a one-week travel ban every year.
I've taken to calling it Lolcano. Because I can.
Must have lost something in translation.
