Well, be prepared for more flight cancellations in Europe as another volcano in Iceland has erupted. The volcano is called Hekla and is described as 100 times more powerful than the Eyjafjallajokull volcano when it erupted 200 years ago.
Throughout the Middle Ages in Iceland, residents called the Hekla volcano as the “Gateway to Hell.” Hekla is Iceland’s most active volcano as more than 20 eruptions have taken place since 874.
The volcano has produced one of the largest quantities of lava in the world in last 1,000 years.

Nowt on BBC yet. An eruption doesn't automatically mean problems though, does it? Is this type of ash common to all eruptions, or certain types only?

Confirmed as a false alarm. Wrong pointing of webcam.

Dont get your hopes too high yet, CM.
