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.

The Icelandic PM has unhelpfully told us that this is just 'A Trial Run' as the neighbouring volcano, which has faithfully erupted at least once every centuary, last erupted in 1918.

Didja hear
those miserable moaning whinging gits
on R5 this morning?
Am I the only one
who wishes
that they had flown a few planes?
"We don't want a nanny state!"
That was their catchphrase.
(Excepting when they need one)

What did they expect the authorities to do, keep flying until a big enough number of planes fell out of the sky killing several thousand passangers and people on the ground?
Then of course it would be screaming and yelling about 'Why did they keep flying in such dangerous conditions?'

EXACTLY....what a load of baws we have been fed, iceland is hardly effected, "don't you get large heavy ash particles that would fall out the sky" wheres the big piles of the stuff in iceland..all i've seen is a tiny smattering on some icelanders car windscreen....any smoke in the air would be blown in a certain direction by the wind, then gradually fall or evaporate, what a pile of turdness....WE HAVE BEEN DUPED BY A GOVERNMENT THAT HAS POOPED IT'S PANTS BECAUSE THERES AN ELECTION COMING UP.
