The invisible cloud from Iceland (800 kms away from GB), made of nothing (maybe a bit of dust), has invaded northern Europe.
Now no plane can fly because of it. Someone has an interpretation?? (but maybe the sky in the UK is filled with dark smoke right now?) |

It's cause hip hop isn't real music.
And I haven't even seen a CLOUD in days. |

Volcanic ash is very fine with glass and fine particlesthat can clog up engines, and doesn't show up on radar like rain/storm clouds do. It is very dangerous to fly in because ofthis.

Man, fuck Iceland.
First they took billions of our money and now their stupid volcanoes caused me to miss all kinds of gigs this past weekend. I'd love to go there one day though. |

One, perhaps told with more glee by Icelanders than by mainland Europeans, has Iceland misunderstanding what Europe was requesting: “We wanted cash,” Europe says, “not ash.” (NYTimes today)

i think it's pretty cool how a purely natural phenomenon can suddenly screw up all of our high-tech possibilities: it's like nature saying 'fuck you guys, i'm still in charge here and if i don't want you to go to the other side of the world in nine hours I WON'T LET YOU!' |

Oh and the last two times this particular volcano erupted, it triggered a much larger volcano called Katla, killed thousands of Icelanders and caused famine across much of Europe.
Lovely.

It's also heavily affected trade in Kenya. They can't export flowers, fruit or vegetables to the UK or Europe.

that APOD pic is awesome.
that volcanic dust is something else. when the glacier melted into the caldera it created blasts of tiny glassyparticles. those would KILL a yet engine. like throwing sand in them.
