    Are there any pictures/updates/news feeds of what the volcano's doing now?

      I think air-ships will be the way forward.
      You get the opposite problem with airships though. If one of them flies over a volcano it ends up half-way to the Moon within 3 seconds.

        I've looked (British Geological Society etc..)

        But the only one I could find that might be useful is the BBC's Volcano cloud as it happens: 19 April

          you'd have thought they'd at least get a web cam set up

          so that we can all see what's going on

            There are satellite dust cloud images here (click dust & then central Europe, 24 , play), but I've no idea what their colours represent. So all in all a bit useless.

              More recent images (yesterday and preceding days). The recent images suggest it's still active(ly pumping out dust).

                i gotta say, the whole thing is not very well coordinated is it

                i can live with no flights, will spend a week at the office every three weeks instead of every two, and will drive to the office,

                but we could do with more information in a coordinated way, i mean, austria open's their airspace, well so what if the departure or destination countries don't open theirs

                looks like the government needs a minister and department for volcanoes and airspace

                      I planned to do some work while I was away, never miss too many billing days. I am just thinking how much stuff to bring with me, hurts my head trying to work out how much underware I might need
