I cant believe it myself when I heard that airline transport for the United Kingdom from all over the world was suspended due to the eruption of a volcano in Iceland, Europe. The airlines canceled all flights for fear that the volcanic ash from the volcano would affect aircraft engines.
Eyjafjallajoekull, a volcano in Iceland, erupted on Thursday April 15, 2010, covered Britain with huge amount of ashes.
The Volcano in Iceland really has a very unusual name, anybody would find it hard to pronounce. Eyjafjallajoekull which means "island-mountains glacier". By fact, its a volcano under the glaciers of ice. Its not really the name of the volcano, however people will refer to Eyjafjallajoekull as the volcano. This volcano has been dormant for more than 200 years. Its last eruption was on 1821. Only by December of 2009 that seismologist recorded seismic activity on the dormant volcano. Eyjafjallajoekull is only one of the 130 volcanic mountains of Iceland.
