Mt. Eyjafjallajökull is erupting again.

[Kage]

The volcano is surrounded by ice, and the magma is hitting the ice, cooling down rapidly, and being forced through, which is what is creating the amount of ash we are seeing.

Apparently, when all, or most of the ice has melted surrounded the volcano; the ash will slow down/stop

i thought the ash would be thinned out when It reached Europe; minimal effects on airplanes, but apparently not.
