Views of Volcanic Ash Plume Over Europe
Updated | 10:26 a.m. As my colleagues Julia Werdigier and Nicola Clark report, a high-altitude cloud of ash drifting south and east from an erupting volcano in Iceland has closed airports in northern Europe. Flights have been canceled because volcanic ash contains silicates, or glass fibers, which can melt inside jet engines, causing them to flame out and stall.
The ash is coming from an eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, located near a glacier of the same name (which, for those not fluent in Icelandic, is pronounced, AYA-feeyapla-yurkul) in southern Iceland, which began erupting last month for the first time in nearly 200 years.
