Have you been affected by Eyjafjallajökull? Let's just refer to it as "the volcano," shall we?

Countless thousands have had their travel plans turned upside down or worse - cancelled. Countless others never even left home, knowing their reservations needed to be rebooked. But for a small group, this has been manna from heaven.

Tours by locals.com is a Vancouver-based website, connecting tour guides with tourists around the world. They have just reported today, that their local guides in Iceland are turning the volcano into proverbial lemonade.

Tony Brackley, an accomplished photographer in Iceland, has combined his photographic talents and love for adventure into the Photographers Volcano Tour. On this 6-hour tour, Tony will take groups up to four in his comfortable 4x4 Jeep to the best vantage points to see and photograph the volcano while it's active.

For tourists stuck in Iceland, Tony has a message. “Get out of the airport, get out of your hotels: this is a chance to see a landscape changing before your eyes," says Tony. The tour is only $390 USD for up to four people and can be booked on-line. As of this morning, he had three open dates for April, with more available in May.
