Hi Jon,
Hope you are well? Jon i was wondering is the web cams for Katla and Hekla down as i haven’t been able to access them for a while know?
The cameras that I have listed works. I cannot say about Mila cameras. Rúv camera seems to be down and has been for a long time now. I do not know why that is.
