Reference:
I heard about that the other day Fluffy, what I've not heard about on the news is how the Icelandic people are coping, e.g has there been loss of life? or homes? is it affecting their health?
What I heard was that when the volcano first erupted th nearby villages were evacuated, (can't remember how many people that involved, but not huge numbers) but because the volcano is on the south of the island and the wind is blowing the ash cloud southeastwards, Iceland itself is basically unaffected.
