As you know from the news media Iceland has experienced a volcanic eruption, or several eruptions, that have seriously upset travel plans for many in Europe. We have rerouted a few travelers and changed some details for folks whose trips are started or nearly started. We've seen the usual resourcefulness of Icelandic guides, outfitters and suppliers who have worked out itinerary and routing changes "on the ground" to make the travels go smoothly and add some volcano viewing for those who want it. The Ring Road that goes all around Iceland is open again and chemical analysis of the ash has shown no toxicity. Travelers with respiratory deficiencies, of course, should avoid concentrations of this dust, and flights have been re-routed to avoid it. Most all of the damage from this eruption is confined to southern Iceland, just below Eyjafjallajokul glacier. This is an area that’s been showered by ash (and worse) in Iceland’s long history, so the farmers there are well prepared for it. There are three or four farms in the region (out of 30) which have been coated with enough ash to cause long-term problems. On the rest, the ash will be washed into the soil by rain where it will fertilize the soil. Volcanoes are one of the reasons that Icelands soil is so productive! It’s important to note that there have been no human fatalities or serious injuries from this eruption, and very little harm to the farm animals in the area – the farmers and the country itself are well prepared for this kind of event. Some of the travel instability has affected the contracts we have for flights and accommodations and that we use to calculate our tour prices and availability; we're cutting into our margins a bit but we may have to quote a total price that includes some of this increase. Since our business pivots on clear communications and firm pricing you can be sure that you'll be told about any changes in any tour that you inquire about. |
