Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupts

The eruption of Eyjafjallajökull volcano in southern Iceland is causing a world crisis due to the cancellation of thousands of flights leaving from or arriving at northern and central Europe.

We want to say a special hello to our schoolmates who were on their way to Ireland on a school trip yesterday and had to come back home straight from the boarding gate of Málaga airport after their flight was cancelled due to the volcanic ash cloud. What a pity!! We are so sorry for you, folks!!

If you want to read further about this event which has collapsed most European airports, take a look at today's Guardian. When you really need to travel in these circumstances, you must be creative to find peculiar -and perhaps expensive- solutions like British comedian John Cleese, who took a $5,100 taxi rice from Oslo to Brussels after becoming stranded in Europe's volcanic ash travel crisis.

I've found this video of the eruption taken from the air.
