The Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland has commenced an eruption. According to reports, it's a fissure eruption rather than a summit eruption, and thus is not under the summit glacier. Thus, there is little chance of witnessing a jokulhlaup.
Darn.
Good video in the article here:
Volcano Erupts In Iceland Near Eyjafjallajokull Glacier, Hundreds Evacuated
Nice high-quality topo map of the volcano and glacier; it'd be nice to have the location of the eruption located on this.
Eruptions Blog also covers it. And via that route, here's a location map. I think that the green star is the eruption site.
After looking at the seismicity map below, I'm pretty sure of that.
