Today, RÚV English Radio waits with the rest of the nation for the eruption, which may come at any time - or not at all.
Darren is joined by his colleague Valur Grettison, a very familiar face during the last three volcanic eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula. They spoke at 3pm on Wednesday, and at that time, the waiting and watching continued.
