![]() I'm off to Reykjavik on Monday. However, there's this little thing about a possible volcanic eruption. Orange is the newest aviation risk level (4th level of 5 level scale) in Iceland due to increased seismic activity in Bardarbunga. In 2010, most of Europe's airspace was shut down for six days due to ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull's eruption. But this time around it's flooding that could become the issue since Bardarbunga is located beneath the ice cap of the Vatnajokull glacier. The area north of the Bardarbunga's volcano has been evacuated. The Vatnajokull National Park is about 180 miles from Reykjavik. The Iceland Meteorological Office has detected more than 3,000 minor earthquakes this week along the center's fault line. So, there's that too; practically a staycation in Los Angeles. |
