The current plume of ash bursting out of the much talked about volcano proves no match, or should I say round, for keen golfers at the Strandarvollur golf course, located only twenty miles away from the eruption site at the Eyjafjallajokull glacier.
This incredible photo sent to IceNews by Icelandic photographer Arnaldur Halldorsson, captures two golfers on the fairway in front of the breathtaking volcanic eruption, seeming to be completely unfazed by the ash fallout behind them. One budding golfer apparently more engrossed with his mobile phone than the golfing hazard.
So it seems that whilst the rest of Europe comes to a halt due to the clouds of ash, people in Iceland remain carefree and enjoy the pleasure of a round of 18 holes.
Hello Alex,
Thank you for that.
There should be a way to make thumb nail image clickable though — to go to bigger image.
I see it in this template of WordPress you use on other sites.
Very nice picture. Kjell Olav Tangen in Icelandair said I could use it on http://www.golfsiden.com. I enjoyed golf in Iceland last August and I want to come back to this very nice Golf Country!
Hi Fisy,
I quite agree with you here. It could be seen on the IceNews homepage before it fell out of the four newest stories and I have been unable to insert a bigger image into the story itself. However, you can see it larger here: http://www.icelandairgroup.is/volcano/life-is-normal-in-iceland/
Thanks

Yes it looks like it is a good photo but where can I see it large ? What is point of just having this little photo thumb nail only.
And Arnaldur Halldórsson website http://www.pix.is doesnt seem to have it.
