In the news

Earthquakes, floods, landslides... and now a volcano eruption. Flights across Europe grounded and passengers stranded.
Video: Beautiful images of the volcano
Video : Latest news on the volcano ash cloud (banned, do check before you leave, likely, I'd rather be down here safely than ..., how long will the volcano ..., it doesn' sound like .... etc.)
Interactive: Do you have to travel? Trace the path of the cloud, just in case.
The times online. Exams, hospitals, supermarkets hit by cloud
...and a stranded couple getting married over the internet. They must be on cloud nine!

The images are really amazing. In fact, Iceland (Fireland?)is one of the countries in the world I'd like to visit in the near future. There, just an island, you can find a lot natural phenomenon, like volcanos, geysers, glaciers, water falls, cliffs, northern lights, midnight sun,...And the fligh takes only about 4 hours.

I wouldn't recommend going to Iceland this year though! Apart from the volcano, the country went bankrupt not so long ago, if I remember well. But I agree that it must be a spectacular, breathtaking island, as far as landscape is concerned.
