Hulme pupils witness the Eyjafjallajokull volcano first hand on the recent Geography Department trip to Iceland. Although still in the throat clearing stages of its eruption the sight was still spectacular. The party was able to visit the region during the excursion to the seaside town of Vik. Getting up really close would have involved a 6 hour ice trek up the galcier but the lack of crampons prevented anyone getting their eyebrows singed. Perhaps it was a lucky escape as the road was closed behind the bus on the return journey to Rejkavik .
