Volcanic Activity



This morning my parents left Kilchoan on the 8am bus to Fort William for their holiday in Jamaica. They were due to catch a flight later today from Glasgow to Gatwick, but of course, have had to hop onto a train instead due to the Iceland volcanic eruption.

This eruption helps to remind me of the old geology lessons my Dad used to give me when we first moved to Ardnamurchan and went walking in the hills. When you stand in Achnaha and look around you, you can tell that you're in the centre of what was a huge volcano. If it had still been a volcano today, it might have done more than just halt British flights!
