Iceland Volcano Satellite Images

Volcanic ash has blanketed large parts of rural Iceland and grounded thousands of flights across Europe since the first eruption on Wednesday.
Delays are predicted to continue into Saturday as the latest images show the ash could move south and east towards Europe.
Aviation experts have called it one of the worst disruptions Europe has ever seen.

The ash cloud, invisible from the ground, has left thousands stranded and blocked the main flight path between the US east coast and Europe.

The Met Office said the cloud is expected to blow down from the north, bringing ash across parts of Britain.
Professor Jon Davidson of the Department of Earth Sciences at Durham University in England believes that the cloud may disperse, but it could also fall to earth or simply be blown elsewhere.
