More from Eyjafjallajokull
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. Collected here are some images from Iceland
over the past few days.
