The experts said they saw little chance of repeating last year's six-day closure of airspace, which also affected transatlantic flights when another Icelandic volcano began, although airlines were warned a new ash cloud will drift. Born This Way (Special Edition)
While Iceland, in particular, towns and villages to the south and east of the volcano Grimsvotn, suffered the most. Il Volo
Day turned into night, when a thick cloud of ash descended on the area, putting out cars and buildings.

Cloud has also started to drift over the capital Reykjavik in late Sunday night and Civil Aviation said the prospects for reopening the main international airport on Monday was not good. European air traffic control organization warned on its website that the ashes can be spread to the south.
In Your Dreams
"Clouds of ash is expected to reach the North of Scotland on Tuesday 24 May. If volcanic emissions continue at the same intensity, the cloud may reach French West airspace and northern Spain on Thursday, May 26," Eurocontrol said in a traffic bulletin. So Beautiful or So What
Agency that created the crisis unit after poor coordination accused of worsening the crisis last year, said the closure is not outside of Iceland is expected on Monday or Tuesday.
Helplessness Blues
Airlines as far away as Australia have stated that they monitor the situation after the travel and cargo violations rippled around the globe and cost industry some $ 1.7 billion last year. Paper Airplane
Icelandic Meteorological said plume from Grimsvotn, which last exploded in 2004, fell in the height of the peak at about 25 km (16 miles) per hour after the eruption and is now holding steady. Hot Sauce Committee Part 2
"It was steady all night just below 10 km," Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Teitur Arason said, adding that the current conditions of wind spread the ashes in separate directions. 19
Winds of two chapters of history. Winds high in the air above 25,000 feet or there about, are the south-east, so the ashes blow to the north and then east.
"But at lower levels, winds north and therefore those ashes blowing to the south."
Eruption was much more than one volcano further south last year, which closed the European airspace and stopped transatlantic flights in April last year, due to fears that the particles could get into the aircraft engines and cause accidents.

"This could lead to a breach, but only for a limited time and only a very limited area," said University of Iceland professor of geophysics Magnus Gudmundsson Toomey. Sigh No More
"We are seeing some signs that (eruption), the power is reduced slightly, but it's still powerful enough," he said, adding that the eruption was the most brutal of the volcano since 1873.
Layers of ash
Wasting Light
Gudmundsson and others vulcanologists said the impact on air travel at this time is more limited, as the winds were more favorable, the contents of the torch was heavier and less likely to spread tolerance and the rule of high ash levels. Some airlines have complained that authorities were overly cautious in the appointment of a blanket closure of airspace during an eruption last year.
Icelandair, the major airlines on the island, stopped flights on Sunday and said on its Web site to stop may continue on Monday. She said 6000 passengers affected by cancellation so far.
Dave Mcgarvie, volcanologist at the Open University UK, said that any ash that reached the UK will be lower than last year and added that the experience gained from 2010 eruption would cause less damage.
In an e-mail comments, he said: "minor changes in the route" should allow the aircraft to avoid areas where concentrated ash.
Move Like This
Grimsvotn lies under a glacier Vatnajokull in southeast Iceland, the largest glacier in Europe. Areas south of the glacier was covered with a thick layer of ash, and the sun was blocked for several hours.

"It was like night and during the winter," said Benedict Larusson, speaking in Kirkjubaejarklaustur. "Now it's a little better. Now I see about 100 meters, but before he was about one meter.
