#1 We will be in Iceland on the 20th of June. Assuming air travel does not shut down then from the US to Keflavik, your intrepid Rantburg reporter will bring you the latest scoop, with text and pictures.

#2 The previous volcanic eruption in Iceland caught the entire aviation system off guard.
That's because our very own One wasn't in charge!

#3 Volcano in question should not be an issue for travel to/from Iceland. They are S and winds tend to blow S to SE. So, ironically, while travel in continental Europe and England was shut down, you could fly just fine to/from Iceland, and anyplace that flies N of Iceland (great circle routes). I have a friend was was stuck in German, took a ferry from Denmark over to Sweden, then caught a flight from there to the US via Iceland.

#4 I gather these two volcanoes are in the habit of acting as a team. In several past eruptions, one goes, then goes the other.

#6 OS---I do not see a problem from the continental US, given the prevailing winds. After Iceland, heading to Greenland for 5 days. Definitely not heading to Europe!

#7 So much for Al Gore's plans for more global warming.

#10 Let's plug the crater with Al Gore. I think we could just about fit him in there.

Q from one of the First Daughters:" Did you plug the hole yet, Dad?"

#13 Watchoo doin' in Iceland, AP? Work, or an interesting (!) vacation? :-D

I was in Iceland for a short time on my way to Europe back in 1970, but didn't have much time there to look around. Looking forward to your pics & report.
