Eruption in Iceland.
As most of you know a new eruption started in Eyjafjallajokull 2 days ago. Eruption started with a huge flood. All went well and only roads got damaged, no houses nor bridges. Since then there have been a few floods every day, but smaller ones that have not made any damage. The eruption is some 50km away from our Ranga rivers , the flood did not have any effect on the rivers and luckily there is a long distance between the rivers and the Volcano. There has been a lot of ash coming from the volcano and unfortunately the wind direction has been taking the ash to Europe causing problems in air traffic all over Europe. Normally ash eruption only lasts up to a week/10days with a traditional lava eruption after that. A clean lava eruption will not harm our rivers at all , even if it will be active for a long time. Should be interesting for our salmon anglers next summer to take a 50 km car ride to look at the eruption in Eyjafjallajokull if still active. We will keep you updated and we are so sorry that nature in Iceland is causing all these problems in Europe , Arni arnibald@lax-a.is
