RVK Newscast 206: Children Banned At Volcano

Welcome back to another volcano RVK Newscast. Join Reykjavík Grapevine’s editor in chief, Valur Grettisson, for a walk around the eruption site at Meradalir and all the latest volcano news.

The Civil Defence in Iceland has announced that Icelanders should be prepared that the eruption could last for months. This means that it could affect infrastructure such as Suðurstrandarvegur (The South beach road). Read more here.
