Iceland volcano (48 images)
An enormous ash cloud from a remote Icelandic volcano caused the biggest flight disruption since 9/11 as it drifted over northern Europe and stranded travelers on six continents. READ THE LATEST STORY
Activity is seen from the volcano in southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier, Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Geologists continued to keep a close watch on the Iceland volcano Eyjafjallajokull on Wednesday, as observers noticed a change in the eruption pattern. Instead of thick black smoke, the plume was almost white... and more like steam than black ash. (AP Photo/Brynjar Gauti )

More than 2,000 weary Britons packed a ferry Wednesday and headed for England after days of searching for an escape from the volcanic ash travel nightmare. The regularly scheduled 30-hour trip normally takes about 1,000 people on its twice-weekly run from Bilbao in northern Spain to Portsmouth in southern England. This time, however, it was carrying around 2,200 people and asking strangers to share sleeper cabins. (AP Photo/Alvaro Barrientos)

A plume of ash rises from the volcano in southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier, Monday, April 19, 2010. Meteorologists in Iceland said eruptions from the volcano were weakening and the ash was no longer rising to a height where it would endanger large commercial aircraft. (AP Photo/Brynjar Gauti)
This aerial photo shows a plume of ash rising from the volcano in southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier, Monday, April 19, 2010. Scientists say because this volcano is located below a glacial ice cap, magma is being cooled quickly, causing explosions and plumes of grit that can be catastrophic to plane engines, depending on prevailing winds. But scientists in Iceland offered some hope Monday that conditions might be easing, saying the new volcanic ash plume is lower, which would pose less of a threat to commercial aircraft in the future.

Hundreds of passengers check out their flight options in a terminal at the airport of Frankfurt, central Germany, Tuesday. April 20, 2010. German airspace is closed for regular flights until Tuesday at 1200 GMT (8 a.m. EDT). However, airlines were permitted to operate a limited number of passenger flights Monday under so-called visual flight rules, meaning that they had to fly at low levels in German airspace.(AP Photo/Michael Probst)

Lighting seen amid the lava and ash erupting from the vent of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in central Iceland early morning Sunday, April 18 as it continues to vent into the skies over Europe. Low-energy lightning is sometimes active during eruptions, arcing between particles as they exit the volcanic vent at around 100 metres per second. The dramatic volcanic eruption which has closed Europe's airspace for days has entered a new phase - producing less smoke but bubbling with lava and throwing up chunks of molten rock.

This aerial image shows the crater spewing ash and plumes of grit at the summit of the volcano in southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier. A lingering volcanic ash plume forced extended no-fly restrictions over much of Europe Saturday, as Icelandic scientists warned that volcanic activity had increased and showed no sign of abating _ a portent of more travel chaos to come. Although the ash plume has grown, a northerly wind was expected to allow enough visibility for scientists to fly over the volcano Saturday. (AP Photo/Arnar Thorisson/Helicopter.is)

A view of a deserted airside departure lounge at Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport London. The airport was closed due to a cloud of volcanic ash in the upper atmosphere above much of Europe, emanating from a volcanic eruption near the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland. The volcanic ash is a hazard to jet aircraft engines, causing the cancellation of many flights over European airspace. (AP Photo)

A car is seen driving through the ash from the volcano eruption under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland. The volcano erupted for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air.

Smoke and steam hangs over the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland, Wednesday April 14, 2010, which 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. Volcanic ash drifting across the Atlantic forced the cancellation of flights in Britain and disrupted air traffic across northern Europe, stranding thousands of passengers. Flights in and out of London Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport, were halted, and the shutdowns and cancellations spread to France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, Sweden, Finland and Switzerland. The volcano's smoke and ash poses a threat to aircraft because it can affect visibility, and microscopic debris can get sucked into airplane engines and can cause them to shut down.

In this image made available by the Icelandic Coastguard, taken, Wednesday April 14, 2010, smoke and steam rises from the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland, which 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. Authorities evacuated 800 residents from around the glacier as rivers rose by up to 10 feet (3 meters). Emergency officials and scientists said the eruption under the ice cap was 10 to 20 times more powerful than one last month, and carried a much greater risk of widespread flooding.

A man looks at a broken section of Iceland's main coastal ring road near Reykjavik Wednesday April 14 2010, after melt water from a volcanic eruption caused river levels to rise by up to 10 feet (3 meters). Authorities evacuated 800 residents from around the Eyjafjallajokull glacier and Iceland's main coastal ring road was closed near the volcano. Workers smashed holes in the highway in three spots in a bid to give the rushing water a clear route to the coast and prevent bridges from being swept away. Scientists said the eruption under the ice cap was 10 to 20 times more powerful than one last month. (AP Photo/Brynjar Gauti)

Ice chunks carried downstream by floodwaters caused by volcanic activity lie on the Markarfljot river bank, some 120km east of the capital Rejkavik, Iceland. The Eyjafjallajokull glacier volcano began erupting for the second time in a month on Wednesday, sending ash several miles (kilometers) into the air. Winds pushed the plume south and east across Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia and into the heart of Europe causing travel chaos. (AP Photo/Brynjar Gauti)
The volcano in southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier sends ash into the air just prior to sunset. Thick drifts of volcanic ash blanketed parts of rural Iceland on Friday as a vast, invisible plume of grit drifted over Europe, emptying the skies of planes and sending hundreds of thousands in search of hotel rooms, train tickets or rental cars.
