are we planning to see something similar? i mean, is there a little bit of a silver lining where perhaps this could be a draw for tourists? > uh- volcanoes are always a good draw for tourists, but in this case, the area that it's in is a little harder to access than it might otherwise be. you know, iceland was named a hot destination that year. people like myself took advantage of these special deals. > talking about the worries, i want to get to this because i remember there shortly after bardarbunga erupted in 2014, there were all these concerns about air quality. and so each day the icelandic met office is putting out a hazard map to show, you know, how far these these hazards are going to occur, whether they're getting closer to the town and, and what people but what they're doing there is going out and surveying the limits of the lava flows, how far they've traveled and how quickly. and also all of those gases you can see in the back ground coming out in those big plumes. can you tell me about what they're doing? obviously surveying the damage, but this looks very dangerous from, you know, a bystander's perspective, right? > so the main trouble with a helicopter in that case is going to be the heat rising off the lava. not too far from what appears to be the ground. > speaking of aircraft, we actually have a chopper shot right now where they are hovering. and it's not going to be as much of an aircraft hazard. so we're really not going to see the same kinds of volcanic ash produced as we did in 2010. To do that, you get lava flows instead of lava explosions.
