I predict the real story will be the amount of green house gases that will be released from the eruption. It will be equivilent to more than 500 years of man's contributions. And then there will be no noticable climate change measured from it.

I'd love to go.
That blue lagoon is on my bucket list.

Hopefully this little eruption doesn't affect it.
There are other tourist hot pools.
Was there for two weeks with wife and inlaws once.
They're family came to Canada in the 1860's.
Nice to see, Rekevyk is a party town every weekend.
Iceland is a volcanic island on top of two plates, it was having abou 50 quakes a day when we were there.
Over history eruptions have lasted over 6 years and poison gas has drifted as far as southern Europe killing thousands in midevil times.
Many people and livestock have died ofvpoisonous gas releases over time.
History lesson over - google time.

Learned something new. I knew they were geothermal but didn't realize how active it actually was
