There was a volcanic eruption there a few weeks ago so might be worth seeing if it affected anything from a tourist standpoint (roads, points of interest, etc.)
I don't know if it did but I saw it on the news and thought about that
One of the more memorable trips I've had involved an Icelandic volcano. About 15 years ago I was on the return leg of a 6 week trip to Europe. Return flight via CDG.
There was a transportation strike in France, so I had to sleep inside one of the terminals at CDG because all airport hotels were booked solid. Back then I wasn't as efficient of a packer, so had two large pieces of luggage and a backpack. Slept with one eye open for fear someone would steal my stuff.
The next morning I made it to the gate and dozed off. Only to be awakened by alarms because CDG was evacuated for security reasons.
Only to be topped off by the flight being delayed because of the smoke and ash from the volcano in Iceland.
