Volcanic Action
April 29th 2010 05:03
Ash from Iceland’s mystical Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH-lah-yer-kuhl) volcano, has stopped most of the world in its tracks, with more than 100,000 flights cancelled and airlines are on track to lose more than $2 billion. So how about a Icelandic tour to see this volcano in all its glory?!
After a brief suspension following the recent eruption, Nordic Visitor has recently re-launched all tours to Eyjafjallajokull in a number of packages, such as volcano helicopter tours, sightseeing flights, and Volcano Super Jeep tours.
Tours are all labelled “volcano-friendly” by the tour operator

Here is a photograph from National Geographic, taken by Italian photographer and scientist Marco Fulle, showing erupting Eyjafjallajökull capturing purple lightning bolts streaking through the sky.
“It's unknown how such sparks form, though one possibility is that electrically charged silica—an ingredient of magma—interacts with the atmosphere when it bursts out of Earth's crust” Steve McNutt of the Alaska Volcano Observatory said in February.
Mother Nature’s finest work!
