The Ominous Cloud

A volcanic eruption started around dinner time yesterday (21 May 2011 – aka The Rapture Day) in Grímsvötn which is the most active volcano in Iceland, located under the Vatnajökull (Lake-Glacier?) far far away from Reykjavik.  We didn’t care very much until today, when all the airports got shut down, and then an ominous cloud started making its way west towards the city.  It became very noticeable around dinner-time today, lurking in the weird near-distance (but yet far away) and all evening it’s been getting bigger and closer.  We expect there to be some sandish-residue sitting on our car tomorrow morning, which is fitting, because I WASHED IT yesterday!!  😉
