2010 Eyjafjallajokull Volcano Eruption

After 200 years of silence, the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland began erupting last month. The ash plume, which reached seven miles into the atmosphere, has blanketed Europe for the past five days and all but collapsed air travel.

A cloud of volcanic matter has risen over much of Europe from the erupting Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland. A major eruption occured on April 14, 2010, resulting in a plume of volcanic ash being thrown into the atmosphere. Air traffic has been subject to cancellation or delays as airspace across parts of Northern Europe has been closed.
