Eyjafjallajokull's eruption lights up the Icelandic sky. It was an awesome spectacle, but the ash that followed created a global mess.

Our thoughts go out to those who are in Moscow and parts of Russia currently affected by a massive heat wave causing immense forest fires. We hope cooler days are coming soon and your beautiful cities get some respite. For more photos, you can search on “Moscow and smog”.

Ash from Iceland’s erupting Eyjafjallajökull Volcano had drifted over northern Europe by April 16, 2010. The brown ash is mixed with clouds in this photo-like image taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite at 12:45 p.m. local time (GMT +2). The visible ash sweeps in an arc across the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, and Russia. It is likely that the clouds mask additional ash.
The airborne ash grounded flights across much of northern and western Europe starting on April 15. As the ash moved south, more countries began to close their airspace. Fine volcanic ash can clog jet engines, causing the engines to stall. Many airports anticipated remaining closed through Saturday, April 17, reported BBC News. Ash had been reported over Norway, Sweden, northwestern Russia, northern Poland, northern Germany, northern France and the southern United Kingdom, said the Icelandic Met Office.
Eyjafjallajökull began its eruption on March 20, 2010, after 187 years of quiet. On April 14, the volcano began a more forceful eruption, emitting plumes of ash. As of April 16, the eruption was still ongoing, with ash reaching heights of four to five kilometers, said the Icelandic Met Office. The volcano’s previous eruption lasted just over a year between December 1821 and January 1823.
The large image is the highest resolution version of the image available. The image is available in additional resolutions from the MODIS Rapid Response System, which also provides daily images of Iceland.

The MODIS instrument on NASA's Aqua satellite captured an Ash plume from Eyjafjallajokull Volcano over the North Atlantic at 13:20 UTC (9:20 a.m. EDT) on April 17, 2010.The Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland erupted Wednesday, April 14, for the second time this month. The volcano is still spewing ash into the air and the ash clouds are impacting air travel in Northern Europe.

That song/jam later turned into the song "Allt að gerast"
This is how it sounds like after we had jammed on it for a whole another year and recorded it, mixed and mastered!Add another year ... and few months... this video is from the release concert last January.I'm looking forward to start working on the new tunes... in fact we've already started.

Here's a photo I took of the Vadim Federov Trio. They then used it on their latest CD.
Trio Vadim Fyodorov becomes its name from the band founder, the russian acordion virtuos Vadim Fyodorov. In the band's repertory is jazz music with a france touch and some russian folk songs. This music fits both as backgroundmusic as well as for entertaining purpose.
Along with Vadim the band is formed by Gunnar Hilmarsson on guitar and Leifur Gunnarsson on doublebass. Vadim was born in St. Petersburg in 1969. He started playing acordion 6 years old at music school, then at the Rimsky Korsakov music collage. Vadim has been living in Iceland last 10 years and is on of the best active acordionist in Iceland.
The band recently released it's first album "Papillions Noirs".
