Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull volcano began erupting again earlier this week. This image,Microsoft Office 2007 Standard, captured May 6 by the European Space Agency’s Envisat satellite,Microsoft Office 2007, clearly shows the grayish brown ash of the plume blowing east.
The eruption is the latest in a string that began March 20 and that grounded flights in many parts of Europe for a week. How big a problem the ash clouds become depends not just on the size of the eruption,Office 2010 Home And Student, but on the direction of the wind.
Planes can’t fly through ash-heavy airspace because there is a danger that the silicates in the plume will turn into glass inside the jet engines.
