Impressive image of volcano on ice

Smoke, dust and steam rose from a crater at a depth of about 200 meters from the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland yesterday, causing a series of European flights to be delayed.

This is the second time this half of the mountain erupted in a short time. Geologists say smoke, dust, and tiny particles rising into the air will reduce visibility, making it difficult for airlines. From yesterday, British flights and then all of Europe to North America had to be postponed.Photo: BBC.

The volcano erupted on Wednesday, but a few days earlier, it had waking signs, as in this photo of a Danish teacher named Kurt Christensen.
