It was before I joined apparently, but I’ve heard that those Ash Alerts were Hugh and series.

Arctic ice thickness correlates best with the activity of the “smokers” and volcanoes on the floor of the Acrtic ocean which on average are 15,000 feet down. Less activity, less heat, thicker ice. More activity, more heat thinner ice.

Grímsvötn volcano on Iceland produced an unusually large and powerful eruption in 2011, sending ash 20 kilometres into the atmosphere, causing the cancellation of about 900 passenger flights. In comparison, the much smaller 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull led to the cancellation of about 100,000 flights.The good news: At least this new volcano has a pronounceable name.

It always erupts just as the typist begins to spell the name.

I am having my name legally changed to Eyjafjallajökull. That way when the Grim Reaper comes calling, it’ll be “I have come for Eyjeff...Eyejaffer...Eyjalla...oh, never mind.”

Ash a matter of fact, you are write.

Very abrasive to moving parts - like jet engines.

“This meltwater can escape suddenly, and after travelling southwards beneath the ice for about 45 kilometres it emerges at the ice margin as a flood, which in the past has washed away roads and bridges.”
Even though the country is run by a bunch of Leftists, they still pre-stage construction materials and other support hardware around the island, so it takes them less than a week to replace bridges and road sections that get wiped out during these sudden floods.

Yeah, they can cause major issues with air travel.My wife got to spend about 2 extra weeks in England the last time it erupted. She was staying with family so it was a gift rather than an inconvenience.
To: Fai Mao; All
Thanks to Covid, an erupting volcano will not cause as much trouble it did a few years ago. A lot fewer flights these days.
