Breaking News: Iceland’s volcanic ash halts flights across Europe


Important notice to all European travelers! Due to the Eyjafjallajökull volcano eruption in Iceland and the clouds of ash it released some of major European airports have been closed. Please take that into consideration if planning a trip in the coming days!

Update notice:
On 14 April 2010 Eyjafjallajökull resumed erupting after a brief pause, this time from the top crater in the center of the glacier, causing meltwater floods to rush down the nearby rivers, and requiring 800 people to be evacuated. This eruption was explosive in nature and is estimated to be ten to twenty times larger than the previous one in Fimmvörðuháls. This second eruption threw volcanic ash several kilometers up in the atmosphere which led to air travel disruption in northwest Europe for six days from 15 April 2010, including the closure of airspace over most of Europe. The eruptions also created rare electrical storms.
