Eruption could last up to two years
As Irish and British airports began to reopen yesterday, the ash cloud caused by the volcano drifted eastwards, leading to the shutting down of airports on the continent. More than 20,000 flights have been cancelled in Europe over the past two days as a result of the eruption.
Ironically, the airport at Reykjavík, Iceland’s capital, was open for business yesterday, with only two cancellations.
