More from Eyjafjallajokull - The Big Picture - Boston.com
Today, British civil aviation authorities ordered the country's airspace closed as of noon, due to a cloud of ash drifting from the erupting Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland. The volcano has erupted for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air and forcing hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters. The volcanic ash has forced the cancellation of many flights and disrupted air traffic across northern Europe, stranding thousands of passengers. Collected here are photos of the most recent eruption, and of last month's eruptions, which were from the same volcano, just several miles further east. ( 18 photos total )

La saga de Hrafnkell ou Saga de Hrafnkell Godi-de-Freyr ( Hrafnkels saga Freysgoða en islandais , abrégé en Hrafnkatla ) est une des plus célèbres sagas islandaises . Probablement écrite à la fin du XIII e siècle , elle fait partie de la catégorie appelée Sagas des Islandais (ou Sagas des familles), qui racontent les faits marquants des premiers colonisateurs de l'Islande et de leurs descendants au X e siècle . Par son style et sa construction elle est un des chef-d'œuvres du genre, et elle a joué un rôle central dans les études et les débats sur l’origine des sagas islandaises. Elle retrace l’affrontement de chefs de clans dans l’est de l’île. Le héros éponyme de l’œuvre, Hrafnkell, se taille une solide réputation de duelliste et voue une adoration toute particulière au dieu Freyr .
