More from Eyjafjallajokull
As ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano continued to keep European
airspace shut down over the weekend, affecting millions of travelers around the
world, some government agencies and airlines clashed over the flight bans. Some
restricted airspace is now beginning to open up and some limited flights are
being allowed now as airlines are pushing for the ability to judge safety
conditions for themselves. The volcano continues to rumble and hurl ash skyward,
if at a slightly diminished rate now, as the dispersing ash plume has dropped
closer to the ground, and the World Health Organization has issued a health
warning to Europeans with respiratory conditions. Collected here are some images
from Iceland over the past few days. (35 photos

his brother-in-law Petur Runottsson work to seal a sheep barn, in case winds
shift and ash from a volcano erupting across the valley lands on their farm, in
Eyjafjallajokull April 17, 2010. The current season is when the spring lambs are
born and such young animals are especially susceptible to volcanic ash in their
lungs so they must be stored inside. (REUTERS/Lucas Jackson)

a road covered volcanic ash back to his barn in Yzta-baeli, Iceland on April 18,
2010. They come galloping out of the volcanic storm, hooves muffled in the ash,
manes flying. 24 hours earlier he had lost the shaggy Icelandic horses in an ash
cloud that turned day into night, blanketing the landscape in sticky gray mud.

a satellite photograph made April 17, 2010. The erupting volcano in Iceland sent
new tremors on April 19, but the ash plume which has caused air traffic chaos
across Europe has dropped to a height of about 2 km (1.2 mi), the Meteorological
Office said. (REUTERS/NERC Satellite Receiving Station, Dundee University,

volcanic ash in the skies coming from Iceland April 18, 2010. Air travel across
much of Europe was paralyzed for a fourth day on Sunday by a huge cloud of
volcanic ash, but Dutch and German test flights carried out without apparent
damage seemed to offer hope of respite. (REUTERS/David W Cerny) #
