Volcano in Iceland, paralyzes the Faroe Islands.

Eyjafjallajökull (press link for live feed) in Iceland, which has cast its gloomy ash over huge parts of Europe and severely disrupted airtravel, is costing alot of money for the only airline on the Faroe Islands, Atlantic Airways. CEO, Magni Arge tells portal.fo, that the company is losing approx. 75000 USD a day, because they can't fly their planes anywhere.

The General Surgeon has these last days issued disclaimers for people with certain health issues, like asthma to stay indoors, because they might inhale the ash.

What we all hope for now, is that Katla will stay quiet.

I always wanted to visit Iceland and will visit it someday. I have heard so much about the Faroe island and volcanoes in Iceland. Thanks for sharing the video!
