Geographers will be aware of the Icelandic eruption which is developing by the day in Geldingadalur / Geldingadalir.
This was an interesting tweet here:
The ongoing volcanic eruptions in Iceland and Saint Vincent are a world apart. The contrasts couldn’t be starker. Icelanders are flocking to Geldingadalir; Vincentians are being forced to evacuate from the La Soufriere eruption. A mind-blowing juxtaposition if you think about it. pic.twitter.com/5h2619tIZG

How are volcanoes 'experienced' and why the differences?
There have been a great many dramatic images posted.
meanwhile in St Vincent and the Grenadines Ben Hennig has been sharing some great linksThe annual pilgrimage of geologists to bring tithes to their god, Vulcan, in hopes of a bountiful harvest of rocks next season.

Find it difficult to keep up with the ongoing action & developments at the #volcano #eruption in #Iceland? Mikael Pekkala has put together a map that shows all the developments + links to all of the live webcam streams that are now available. Great effort! https://t.co/R9Y5NVvUjS pic.twitter.com/MdwMPYRUSS
