New Icelandic Volcanic Eruption Causes Travel Chaos
It now seems that a brand new volcanic eruption has taken place in Iceland. This time it was Grimsvotn that erupted. Although this eruption is no where near as bad as the Eyjafjallajokull volcano that erupted just last year, it was still bad enough to cause a number of travel problems.
The volcano erupted in Iceland and spewed a lot of ash into the sky. In fact, it was enough ash to make it impossible to fly planes in and out of Kaflavík International Airport. The good news, however, is that authorities were able to avoid cancellations and delays for people flying out of the airport. They did this by flying people out early. However, as some may have already guessed, the change in flight times caused travel chaos for some.
The good news is that experts do not expect this volcanic ash to effect countries other than Iceland. In fact, they said that they do not expect the eruption to reach continental Europe. This is at least a breath of fresh air for the travelers who live in Europe.
When people heard that there was another volcanic eruption, pictures from Eyjafjallajokull automatically came to mind. This is because this volcanic eruption was bad enough that it caused a number of airline problems. In fact, most flights in Europe were affected for weeks after the eruption.
Of course, this is not the first time this volcano has erupted, and it won’t be the last. In fact, reports clearly show that Grimsvotn is actually the most frequent erupting volcano in Iceland. The last time that this volcano erupted was just back in 2004.
