The RUV livestreams should give a good view when (if) the eruption reaches the surface: www.youtube.com/live/kXD4A9u...

At least the Natural Earth Quick Start project files address this visually to some degree, though the geometries are an issue IMO (which may also apply to other disputed areas). At least the data is old enough to not have problems with more recent geopolitical claims ;-) www.naturalearthdata.com

I know that this is documented in the changelog and that there are explicit notes and alternative data on the download pages - eventually the map maker is to blame. But I think it's still problematic to have such 'de facto' boundaries in a default dataset that is used by many non-professionals.

There is nothing ‘cheaply on the web‘ in Iceland. There are these guys: www.skatturinn.is/english/comp... and also some obscure ‘handling fees’ plus ‘sending fees’ (yes, for receiving shipments) from these guys: posturinn.is/en/individua...
Altogether I reckon a cookie cutter comes at 30+ quid…

The cookie cutter was a freebie by the German Embassy. Waiting for the British Embassy to follow suit!
