Volcanic activity can mean travel disruption (Image: Getty) The Foreign Office has warned holidaymakers of possible delays and cancellations after a number of volcanic eruptions. The Foreign Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) has urged tourists to check for alerts and advice before they head off. The alert is for Iceland after a number of eruptions in recent weeks.
Icelandic eruptions in previous years have created smoke and ash clouds that disrupted traffic across northern Europe. The FCDO said: "No travel can be guaranteed safe," and added: "Recently there has been a series of volcanic eruptions on the Reykjanes peninsula in south-west Iceland. These have affected the town of Grindavik and the area to the north of it.
Icelandic authorities advise that you stay away from this area. All roads to Grindavik and the surrounding area are closed." "The likelihood of further eruptions in this location remains high.
Check local media for updates and follow the Iceland authorities' advice on travel to the area." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
