Eyjafyallajoekull (a name to remember)

I'm still stranded in Malaysia due to the Iceland's Eyjafyallajoekull volcanic eruption that sent fine ash over Europe's skies and closed airports for a long time - I can't fly back to the UK yet and am waitlisted for the 24th of April. This means I'll start Easter term late in Cambridge and may have to stay back a little later after Term ends to "keep Term" (some Camb tradition where you HAVE to be in university premises for 70 days a term at least).

However, it has led to some spectacular sceneries in Iceland and my dad wants to visit Iceland at some point because of this. Which means, I get to go of course! These pictures are all awesome stuff:
