Iceland Volcano Erruption and Doomsday Predictions

Saturday’s eruption of the Grimsvotn volcano was reminiscent of another eruption, of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland last year, when volcanic ash spread over Europe and forced mass cancellations of fights. As yet, there was no evidence that such a major disruption would be repeated, but repeated it was. The volcano activity has disrupted as a result. In an announcement, Isavia, the Icelandic company that operates that nation’s airports,Nike Soccer Shoes, cited airborne ash as the reason for closing Keflavik International Airport (KEF), which serves Reykjavik, the capital. It said a "danger area has been established for all instrument flying that includes the upper approach airspace" for Keflavik and also the smaller Reykjavik Airport (RKV), which serves domestic flights. The announcement said the airports would be shut until at least noon Monday. It advised affected passengers to contact their airlines. Ash from an erupting Icelandic volcano that has already grounded planes locally could enter UK airspace by Tuesday,New Zeland soccer jerseys, forecasters have warned. After the Grimsvotn volcano began erupting on Sunday, causing flights to be cancelled at Iceland's main Keflavik airport a plume of ash smoke and steam 12 miles into the air was reported by multiple sources. However experts said the eruption was unlikely to have the dramatic impact that the Eyjafjallaj?kull volcano had in April last year, when flights were cancelled over the UK and much of Europe for several days. Paul Mott, forecaster at Meteogroup, said ash from the volcano could potentially reach the UK by Tuesday. "Both the upper level and lower level winds will be becoming north-westerly through Monday and Tuesday as well, so between Iceland and Scotland there'll be northwesterlies,Celtic jerseys," he said last night. "So certainly any ash plume could potentially move from Iceland towards northern Scotland. I think that risk does increase through tomorrow night and into Tuesday."
