Saturday May 21, 2011, the Grímsvötn volcano began erupting again after a year of calm.
The ash cloud resulted in the closure of Keflavik International Airport in the capital city of Reykjavík. Webcams throughout the city show the approach of the ash cloud and the darkening skies. The cloud is expected to arrive in the UK and Europe by the middle of the week.
Iceland has many active volcanoes and Grímsvötn is one of the most active. The current eruption is considered the most powerful in 100 years.
In 2010 the eruptions closed a majority of airports in Europe.
