Being part of the most remote population on Earth should protect you from the chaos and disruption some light volcanic ashing brings to our crowded European countries. Far from it. Anna Hicks explains how her research is bringing us closer to understanding the risks that go with living in the shadow of one of nature's deadliest forces.
