Today on RÚV English Radio, why you shouldn't worry about any forthcoming trips to Iceland.
There is still a lot of uncertainty about where, or whether, any volcanic eruption may take place on the Reykjanes Peninsula.
One thing that can be said though, with a very high degree of certainty, is that travel to and from Iceland is not affected. If you have a trip to the country coming up, you don't need to worry that your flight will be cancelled*. This isn't 2010, when flights were grounded by volcanic ash - any potential eruption this time would be completely different.
(* although we can't promise that bad weather won't ever have an effect...)
Darren meets with Snorri Valsson, Project Manager at Ferðamálastofa, the Icelandic Tourist Board, for some reassurance.
Also today, in the second part of our programme, a new episode of Auðskilið: the news in simple Icelandic.
Atli joins Darren to look at the ongoing rebuilding of the church on Grímsey. Follow along with the story here - https://www.ruv.is/audskilid/2023-11-23-aftur-unnid-vid-kirkjuna-i-grimsey-397990 - as ever, we start just under the image.
