September 2016

I have just returned from an utterly memorable two weeks in the stunning,
extraordinary, landscapes of Iceland. I have never seen anything quite like
it. Iceland is, quite simply, unique - and wonderful. There will undoubtedly
be further bulletins, but for a start, a modest gallery.

(this, by the way, is the end of the lava flows from the 2014/2015
[eruption](https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/bardarbunga/seismic-
crisis-2014/updates.html) of Bárðarbunga and Holuhraun in the central
highlands)

and, after two weeks of daily practice and testing with a variety of patient
Icelanders, I can now pronounce Eyjafjallajökull more or less correctly - if
slowly.
