Summary:
Concerns about major air travel disruption are mounting after Iceland’s most powerful volcanic eruption in over 50 years threw a huge cloud of ash 12 miles into the air on the weekend of May 23,a year after ash from the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption reached Europe, closing much of its airspace. Initially, European airspace was not expected to be affected but in at least two hours Eurocontrol, Europe’s air safety organization, issued a statement confirming that “some ash cloud may reach parts of northern Europe in the next 48 hours.”
I was quite shocked to hear that the same volcano erupted for a second time. I'm glad that they shut down air travel in time so that there were no accidents. They should start looking into why the volcano keeps erupting. They could maybe try and find answers on how we can be prepared for another eruption.
