These spectacular photos are from the recent eruption in Iceland of the volcano that few outsiders can pronounce - Eyjafjallajökull. The Icelandic landscape is often barren but the country is also beautiful in so many locations. And this is evidence of nature at her most powerful.

Thousands of tourists are still stranded by the volcanic ash crisis in Europe. A week of airspace closures caused by ash cloud from Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano has caused the worst breakdown in civil aviation in Europe since World War II, with around 100,000 flights cancelled.
The volcano is said to be pumping between 150,000 and 300,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide a day into the atmosphere, but the crisis may still be reducing overall greenhouse gases by grounding planes, which emit CO2.If you're planning a trip through Iceland check out the deals on Iceland Motorhome Rental atIcelandmotorhomerental.com

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
