Icelandic volcano

The Reykjavik Grapevine

As Fagradalsfjall finally goes quiet we’re beginning to take a look back over the lifespan of the ‘people’s volcano’, from the start of the eruption in March 2021 to its dying days. Over the past eight months, Reykjavík Grapevine journalists have racked up hours of footage as well as hundreds of miles of hiking as they provided regular coverage of the action at the volcano at Geldingadalir. Much of this footage has never been released to the public until now. Postcards from the Volcano is a chance to review the history of what has become the longest continuous eruption in Iceland in the last 50 years, and to consider how its existence, in a year like no other, changed Iceland.

A girl cousin visited my 80 yr old sister, I had had zero contact since childhood. We all had a good old time and she insisted we all take a tour to Europe for 7 days. Fine. Months before, with the reservations all committed, this Icelandic volcano started doing its thing. Flights were cancelled or redirected. I also had a jury summons of a long-term basis to deal with. Finally the jury was dismissed. And the cousin and I had a Harry-Sally dispute in a very scenic setting. We haven't contacted since. Blame Iceland, blame volcano.
