Iceland volcano
A volcano in Iceland features in our Geo Quiz. It’s near a glacier and has been erupting for a few days now. Some nearby residents have been evacuated. But so far, the volcano’s spectacular displays of smoke and lava have mostly been a boon for tourism. Bjorn Eriksen manages a hotel within sight of the volcano, and he gives host Marco Werman the answer to the Geo Quiz.
