QuoteThe eruption under a glacier in the Eyjafjallajoekull area of Iceland is the second in the country in less than a month.

Yep gotta love that Eruption under, ummmmm, that glacier.

It is quite an interesting situation, but it is for the best. The trains will also get sold out fairly quickly, leaving people with no other option but to wait it out.
