Air travel in Europe might not get back...
The eruption of a volcano on the Eyjafjallajokull Glacier in Iceland, which began on Wednesday, has already paralyzed air traffic in the U.K., France, Germany, Belgium Latvia, Ireland and the majority of Nordic countries.
"This eruption may stop tomorrow, but it may continue to disrupt air traffic for weeks or months," Professor of Geophysics at the University of Iceland, Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson, said.
On Friday, Austria and Poland have also suspended their air traffic due to ash clouds from the volcanic eruption.
Sunday"s funeral of the late Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria, who were killed in a plane crash last week, could be delayed as ash clouds from the volcanic eruption might prevent other world leaders from coming to pay their last respects.
The ash cloud is also moving towards Russia"s northern city of St. Petersburg. The Russian Emergencies Ministry said that the ash from the eruption does not pose a health risk.
