Comment from here:

"I´m in Iceland, and we have other images of ash falling very thick. Your picture of the car driving through Kirkjubaejarklaustur, it´s actually DAYLIGHT there. Iceland is now having 24 hour day light, so you can see how bad and thick the ash is. People have been evacuated by the thousands, and farm animals are locked indoors. It´s expected to be the worst Grimsvotn eruption since 1873, and it lasted 7 months... It only needs the wind to change course and it will blow over the UK.

The wind is coming into us from the south western Gulf stream at the moment tho - so that should blow it north and away from us... surely?

short term it's looking good but the last big eruption from that volcano lasted 7 months....according to user comments (i.e. not checked)

edit: from this wiki here:
"On 21 May 2011 at 19:25 UTC, an eruption began, with 12 km (7.5 mi) high plumes accompanied by multiple earthquakes.[6][7][8] The ash cloud from the eruption rose to 20km/12 miles, and is so far 10 times larger than the 2004 eruption, and the strongest in Grímsvötn for 100 years.[9]"

Not at all. I do my own washing. I am, however, fed up of running after my brother.
