Oh yeah, the evacuation order only applies to the surrounding areas of the eruption. My parents are in the family's summer cottage closer by though, and can see the glowing column of fire fairly well. They're still pretty far away and aren't in any danger. My sister's friend is at a farm near Skógar though and they're evacuating. He was going along with some locals to check up on an elderly couple who live a bit further up north and help them get out of Dodge.

Don't know Viking.

Damn, they will have been evacuated, hopefully.

Gosið virðist vera á miðjum Fimmvörðuhálsinum. Svæðið sjálft er morandi í gömlum gígum frá gosum fyrir landnám.

And Viking the evacuations have gone ahead quite smoothly so no worries.  :)

Languish, the finest source in breaking news. The farm is the one on the other side of Skogarfoss from Skogar. So smack dab in the middle iirc.

The fissure is currently about 1 km in diameter, ashfall seems limited. Maybe it's just a smallish "tourist" eruption.

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.

Here's the eruption from space. The black spot shows the ash plume from the eruption.
