It seems there's been another volcanic eruption in Iceland in the Eyjafjallajoekull glacier (pronounced ay-yah-FYAH'-plah-yer-kuh-duhl) . There has been flooding and 800 people have been evacuated; although the flooding seems to have peaked without the roads and bridges coming apart. The ash spewed into the air by the volcano continues to cause chaos with all European flights.
This eruption follows the March 20th eruption prior to which the volcano had been dormant since 1821 (at which time it continued to erupt for 2 years!)
Maybe it will REALLY be the Fire and Ice Marathon (and maybe I'll be racing in Rio instead...)
Wishing all the best to those in Iceland at the moment
