Blog 12

Eyjafjallajokull is a volcano located under an ice cap on the lower portion Iceland. It recently irrupted on April 14 2010, and was one of the largest and most problem causing volcanic eruptions in recent history. Due to it's location near the north pole, it's right in the horizon of Europe causing a massive dust cloud to cover a lot of Northern Europe. This also makes quite large issues in the ability to travel by plane from the US to Europe. The large ash cloud was sitting right in shortest path way from US to the Europe.
This not only cause travel issues but economic issues for many European countries that's economy based on Imports and Exports. There have been several reports of delayed trips of politicians as their travels from country to country has been delayed.
