More from Eyjafjallajokull - The Big Picture - Boston.com

As ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano continued to keep European airspace shut down over the weekend, affecting millions of travelers around the world, some government agencies and airlines clashed over the flight bans. Some restricted airspace is now beginning to open up and some limited flights are being allowed now as airlines are pushing for the ability to judge safety conditions for themselves. The volcano continues to rumble and hurl ash skyward, if at a slightly diminished rate now, as the dispersing ash plume has dropped closer to the ground, and the World Health Organization has issued a health warning to Europeans with respiratory conditions.
These raw videos from the AP and CBS News show lava being thrown high into the air from Eyjafjallajokull, the Icelandic volcano that has been causing nearly continuous travel delays in Europe. http://www.sciencenewsblog.com/blog/511101

«Nous restons inquiets, le Katla pourrait suivre» - Libération

Encore un ou deux jours, guère plus. D’après nos mesures, la pression commence à diminuer dans le volcan. Mais nous restons inquiets, car l’éruption de ce stratovolcan pourrait être suivie de celle du Katla, un volcan partiellement couvert par le glacier Mýrdal.

Éruption de l'Eyjafjöll sous l'Eyjafjallajökull, Islande - Plane

Suite à l'éruption de l'Eyjafjöll (au nom tellement "imprononçable" que seuls quelques rares journalistes ont donné son nom, préférant souvent parler du "volcan islandais") et à l'émission de panaches de poussières, le trafic aérien est fortement perturbé dans le Nord de l'Europe, les vents dominants étant alors d'Ouest. Revenons un peu sur le volcanisme islandais et sur les conséquences du volcanisme sous-glaciaire.
