\n<\/em>Update on the ongoing Grimvotn eruption, volcanic ash<\/a>, and how it is affecting and expected to affect air transportation publish on Monday, May 23, 9:15am EST.<\/em><\/p>\n

I reported last night that the Grimsvotn Volcano eruption in Iceland<\/a> yesterday was unlikely to cause much chaos for international flights. News is now that Iceland’s authorities are putting a temporary flight ban in place, but that the same prediction remains.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The plume of smoke from the eruption has gotten as high as 12 miles (20km) according to experts and putting flights in the area on hold is common sense. See a video of the erupting volcano here (3 more videos of the 2011 Grimvotn volcano eruption<\/a> here).<\/p>\n
