ICELAND-VOLCANO-TRAVEL-LIFESTYLE
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY NINA LARSON
Icelandic Travel Industry Association chief and chief executive officer of Air Iceland, Arni Gunnarsson, poses on June 28, 2011 at the airport in Reykjavik. Iceland's volcanoes gained notoriety last year for their ash-spewing ability to ground airlines and make a mess. But they also pay their dues, drawing tourists eager to see the source of the chaos. With a tiny population of only 320,000 inhabitants, Iceland has already had a record 206,000 tourists visit in the first half of this year alone, recent statistics showed. This is an increase of more than 20 percent from 2010, and while the figures didn't show how many visited volcanoes, Gunnarsson says it was likely "a large portion". AFP PHOTO / HALLDOR KOLBEINS
