From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Budget Icelandic carrier Iceland Express has said that business is booming, thanks to the recent eruption of the country's Fimmvorduhals volcano.
The company's CEO claims that bookings have gone up 20 percent since the volcano first blew its top on March 21, as tourists flock to see the smoke plumes from the eruption.
Fimmvorduhals, which sits between two Icelandic glaciers, was one of the most popular walking routes in Iceland. However, since the first eruption in March, tourists have been staying well back from the area, preferring instead to photograph the plumes of smoke pouring from the crevices in the pass.
Both Iceland Express and Icelandic flag-carrier Icelandair offer volcano packages to the area.
Iceland Express offers a one way flight to Reykjavík from London Gatwick, Copenhagen, Berlin or Warsaw for £79/€89, and the offer runs until April 13.
Icelandair's Volcano City Break package includes flights to Iceland, three nights accommodation and an evening trip to Fimmvorduhals from the UK from £479.
