Have you ever seen a volcanic ash cloud so close as those photographers did? I think you saw nothing, and even those photographers didn't comparing to those inhabitants who live in that area for centuries. The Icelanders saw much more disastrous eruptions, and they live on a volcano itself, you may say. But hey, if you coulnd't come and see it in your own eyes (even not talking about living there), let's still be brave to have a virtual photo-tour over Eyjafjalla, thanks to the reporters.
Horses in ash, wasted vegetation, and sheep lost in an ash cloud. All is there. See 35 photos at Boston.com.

Time to go home. Thousands of hostages of the Icelandic volcano has taken their flights
Korrespondent.net - 22/04/2010 13:02 GMT
PHOTO REPORT. This Wednesday, April 21st, the majority of European countries allowed and resumed flights that were temporarily stopped because of the danger of the volcanic ash cloud that had covered the Old World last week. Finally, thousands of passengers that had been nature's hostages for a week could take their way home. According to flight officials, on April 21st almost 3/4 of usual passenger traffic was served. It is expected that all air flights will have been on schedule till Thursday. The eruption of the Eyjafjalla has lead to the unprecedented air transportation collapse that is considered to be the most considerable since the WWII. Almost 6 million people were involved and suffered from the collapse to some extent. Losses of the air carriers are estimated to be around USD 2 billions.

And read-watch the story about
On April 17th we went on a journey to save a Ford Econoline truck on Mýrdalsjökull, close to Fimmvörðuháls. It had broken down just before the eruption in Eyjafjallajökull began. That Saturday was the only change to salvage the car in one piece since the wind hadn’t blown in the cars direction yet... read more.пятница, 16 апреля 2010 г.

Iceland's disruptive volcano (18 photos)
http://www.boston.com/ April 15, 2010
Today, British civil aviation authorities ordered the country's airspace closed as of noon, due to a cloud of ash drifting from the erupting Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland. The volcano has erupted for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air and forcing hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters. The volcanic ash has forced the cancellation of many flights and disrupted air traffic across northern Europe, stranding thousands of passengers. Collected here are photos of the most recent eruption, and of last month's eruptions, which were from the same volcano, just several miles further east. (18 photos total)

But only 11,000 flights will operate in European Airspace today instead of the usual 28,000.
NATs will review the situation at 1330 today.
