Volcano Erupts In Iceland

Reports are coming in that a volcano in Iceland called Grimsvotn has erupted, sending plumes of smoke 15km into the air. It was accompanied by a series of earthquakes, but all of them have been minor so far, and scientists don't believe the eruption will cause problems for air travel like 2010's Eyjafjallajokull event. Local coverage in Icelandic is available, as well as early pictures of the eruption.

    They'd hate it there. Remember, we're talking about a country that voted in same-sex marriage 49 to *zero*, and has a lesbian prime minister.
