We understand that a volcanic eruption is an extraordinary sight to see 🌋

If you are thinking of hiking 🥾 to the Fagradalsfjall Volcano, here is what you have to keep in mind 🧵

Volcanic eruption has started in SW Iceland🌋

Risk to populated areas & critical infrastructure is considered very low and there have been no disruptions to flights.

Great visit to 1 Canadian Air Division HQ in Winnipeg @RCAF_ARC. 🇮🇸 greatly appreciates 🇨🇦's strong focus on the N-Atlantic & the High North, including air policing around 🇮🇸. Canada contributes to our shared security, now under threat due to Russia's invation of Ukraine.

Attended the @FCM_online annual conference #FCM2022AC where I learned about issues facing Canadian municipalities. At the associated trade show, I met Vidir Ragnarsson @vidirr from the Icelandic company @payanalytics that is doing some fantastic work relating to equal pay

I had the pleasure of meeting members of Fálkinn, the Icelandic Canadian Club of Western Manitoba this evening. Excellent food, lots of laughter and brilliant stories - all of them true! #Brandon #ICCWM #BennysRestaurant

Wonderful to meet @VWiium today as he sets off to represent #Iceland as Consul General in my hometown of #Winnipeg!

I promised him that they don’t call it “Friendly Manitoba” for nothing. @CanadaIceland @IcelandinCanada
