It could also disrupt international air travel for weeks. It's apparently worse then then the last major eruption.

No I am not going to try and spell its name from memory

This time though we have drones and live streams, so expect we are gonna get some pretty cool visuals.

Considering how the one in 2010 clogged up international air travel, I expect it to be disrupted for at least a month or so.

Best non live video I could find but it's really cool. This may not even be the full eruption yet. The magma channel seems to have ruptured along the (incomprehensible Icelandic word) peninsula, rather then the caldera itself.

Is this the place that was evacuated around Thanksgiving?

Yes although the eruption is still pretty far from Grindavik where they evacuated. Also doesn't seem to be spewing much ash and dust so might not fuck up air travel too bad.

Looks more like a personal fuck you to the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa since they had just opened back up.

Friendly remind that roughly a fifth of Iceland's population perished in 1783 because of the Laki Eruption:
The eruption had produced large amounts of gases and ash too. The gases, particularly the fluorine, poisoned the fields, meadows, and ponds. 50% of all the cattle, 79% of the sheep, and 76% of the horses perished between 1783 and 1785, in addition to fish in ponds and other animals [5]. In Iceland, the eruption is also remembered by its consequence: The famine of the mist, or Móðuharðindin. The Icelandic diet at the time was mainly based on meat and fish, so the fallout of this eruption was catastrophic. By 1785, roughly 20 percent of the Icelandic population had perished—from hunger, malnutrition, or diseases.

For week, following ash filled rain caused problems, pitch black ash rain, depending how far it'll travel when current of hot and cold air it'll result in strong storms.

Pollution from high sulfur guaranteed, dead marine life and plant life.
