The National Geographic just ran a feature titled Tourists Brave Iceland's Dangerous Volcano to see Eruption first hand. It states that despite the dangers, the eruption is drawing some people into the area. More than a hundred scientists are studying Bárdarbunga as part of the European Commission-funded Futurevolc project and an increasing number of tourists are visiting the area to witness an eruption first-hand. Included in the article is an interview with science writer Alexandra Witze on developments at Bárdarbunga.
