Iceland's
Eyjafjallajökull-Fimmvörduháls volcano erupts - image
taken at 11.35am GMT 15/4/2010
Today an Icelandic
eruption has shut down European Air travel, the above
picture - sourced from NASA's MODIS satellite imaging system -
shows why. In the middle of the image the brown streak is
the volcanic ash plume stretched out across the North Sea.
At the bottom of the image you can see glimpses of Scotland
between the clouds and on the right hand side you can see
snow on the mountains of
Norway.
