Grímsvötn Eruption 2011 - a photo on Flickriver

Grímsvötn Eruption 2011

            I went on a trip last night pretty much right after news broke out about another eruption. The closer we got the less we saw because of the epic mushroom cloud of ash that started looming over everything in sight. We stopped moving at Þórisvatn and watched lightning strikes for an hour or two before heading back home. It's not easy to be travelling in the middle of the night, not having prepared for such a journey. I really hope this will be over sooner rather than later, because of all the animals that have little or no shelter from the massive ash fallout, and I don't think we can afford another summer of lost tourist bookings - this was supposed to be Iceland's best tourist summer. This was taken roughly 80km from the eruption.
