Eyjafjallajökull Volcano!

Whoa! I just learned about the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano! (Yes, I had to copy the word Eyjafjallajökull to get it right!)

The Eyjafjallajökull Volcano is in Iceland and normally looks like this:



But for the past few days, it's been looking like this:

And this is what it looks like erupting from space:

The amazing thing about this volcanic eruption is that although Iceland is a fairly remote place, very far north, this volcano erupting has shut down all flights going into and coming out of Europe. Yes, this far-flung little volcano has disrupted all of Europe. Even flights going to and coming from other parts of the world have been shut down. People can't get back home. People can't get to work or school. (Yay!) The U.S. President couldn't even get to the funeral of the Polish President who died in a plane crash recently. Life has been totally disrupted all around the world.
Maybe this is all the diabolical plan of some criminal mastermind to disrupt air travel around the world. Now all the world governments must pay him if they ever want to fly again. Hmm. Dastardly. I wonder if it will work.
