I'm glad that there don't seem to have been pyroclastic flows, as yet. Casualties could have been much worse.

Those are some grim comparisons between the 30's Dustbowl and the current widespread drought.

There is more explanation of how this footage was captured. On one flight, they melted the front of the camera.

Also, some great shots from Nat Geo:

Default Gas-spewing Icelandic volcano stuns scientists

Sulphur-rich eruption defies preparations for an ashy blast.

http://www.nature.com/news/gas-spewi...ntists-1.16234

Quote:
The record-setting amount of pollution has surprised even volcanologists in the middle of a major project funded by the European Union to understand the island’s fiery activity. They had been preparing for a repeat of the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption, which led to a billowing ash plume that grounded planes across Europe. “Everybody was expecting a big ash cloud, and now we have something totally different,” says Anja Schmidt, an atmospheric modeller at the University of Leeds, UK, who studies how volcanic gases spread.
