Iceland Volcano Eruption 2011
Grimsvotn, the volcano in southeast Iceland that began its most significant eruption in 100 years on Saturday, sent ash as higher as 12 miles in to the air and grounded airplanes on the country’s biggest airport.
The ash from Grimsvotn - about 120 miles (200 kilometers) east of the capital, Reykjavik - turned the sky black Sunday and rained down on close by structures, cars and fields. Civil safety employees aided farmers get their animals into shelters and urged residents to have on masks and keep indoors. No ash fell on the capital.
