Iceland volcano eruptions continue, flights cancelled
May 24, 2011
Reykjavik/Stockholm - Ash from an erupting Icelandic volcano forced the cancellation Tuesday of some 250 flight cancellations in Europe, mainly in British airspace.
The Brussels-based association of European air traffic controllers, Eurocontrol, said there was also 'a strong possibility' that parts of Denmark and southern Scandinavia would be affected.
When Grimsvotn erupted Saturday it created a plume about 20 kilometres high. By Monday it was between 8 to 10 kilometres, and on Tuesday the Icelandic Meteorological Office said the plume was lower, at between 3 and 5 kilometres. the rest

I find it curious how another volcanic activity is transpiring on that region of the world once again, but it affects a lot more than just that area. Perhaps there is indeed something big about to happen. My inner geek couldn't help but think how we could use the Hulk to hold the planet together kinda like in the comic books.
The ash in Grimsvotn is coarser than and not as likely to cause danger as it falls to the ground faster and doesn't stay as long in the air as in the Eyjafjallajokull eruption."
