Title: Volcano photos
Post by: madelaide on April 18, 2010, 13:51

A friend sent me this selection. Impressive. So much ash must be a huge problem for people and environment.  I hope Iceland comes out of this soon, it's such an awesome place.

Looks like something out of a movie.

My brother is in America. He should come back today, but they postponed the flight for another week. And if things don't get better they will probably fly from Washington DC to Latin America, then to Africa, than to Turkey, and back to Serbia...
I guess the climate could change because of all this smoke. It's possible that we are gonna have colder summer with much more rain.

Rainy summer? What summer? We just got 15 cm snow. Ok, snow is not that unusual in April, but not this much this late. We are close enough to the ash clouds that I think they could have caused it. The last time we had "A year without summer" it was caused by volcanos in Indonesia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer)

I know a couple of people that lost a lot by their Kauphting and Icesave fraud. We would disagree they are so "awesome".

It's an awesome place for its landscapes and the way people make their lives in a very hostile environment.  The volcano activity has a huge impact in both.
