The underground fissure, which was 2½ miles long as of early Tuesday, is about 1½ miles north of the town of Grindavik — and appears to be growing, according to the South Iceland Volcanoes and Natural Hazard Group. https://wapo.st/477G8Rh | Washington Post | Facebook

Strong winds in Washington stirred up decades-old ash from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, creating plumes that made it look like the volcano was erupting. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) confirmed there was no new volcanic activity and that the volcano remains at normal, background levels. This phenomenon, which can be hazardous to health and aircraft, occasionally occurs during high winds and dry, snow-free conditions. #wa #pnw #volcano | FOX 13 Seattle
