on the island are likely to close during the day, the civil aviation authority
said on Sunday. "The ash distribution forecast over the next six hours shows
that the ash from the volcano will spread over Iceland today, leading to the
closure of most Icelandic airports as the day goes on," the Isavia authority
said in a statement. The explosion at the Grimsvotn volcano, under the
Vatnajokull glacier in southeast Iceland, came just over a year after a
volcano under another glacier sent a huge plume of dust into the sky and
halted European air traffic for days. "It can be a big eruption, but it is
unlikely to be like last year," Icelandic Met Office geologist Hjorleifur
Sveinbjornsson told Reuters, referring to the April 2010 eruption under the
Eyjafjallajokull glacier.
