Volcanic eruptions halts travelers

Lava spurts from a volcanic eruption at the Fimmvorduhals volcano near the Eyjafjallajokull glacier some 125 Kms east of Reykjakic.  (March 27, 2010) A volcanic eruption that has occurred in Iceland has caused grief to millions of people trying to travel today. Fimmvorduhals volcano near the Eyjafjallajokull glacier some 125 Kms east of Reykjakic. This eruption has halted flights to Europe and from Europe, especially ones from and to Heathrow Airport in London. Ash clouds that have come from the eruption is the cause of this incident. This incident has been grounding planes on a scale that has been unseen since the 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York. The worst thing about this eruption is that scientists have said that this eruption could last for months, or for years.


This is unlike anything i have ever seen or heard about before, having a volcano erupt as big as this one and having it cause so much grief. This is a big problem because if the volcano keeps erupting for years or months there will still be ash clouds which will keep planes grounded and will not let them fly to Europe. If this does happen this will become a big international incident and will cause to many people grief from around the world.
