In this image made available by the Icelandic Coastguard, taken Wednesday April 14, 2010, smoke and steam rises from the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland, which erupted for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air and forcing hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters. Authorities evacuated 800 residents from around the glacier as rivers rose by up to 10 feet (3 meters). Emergency officials and scientists said the eruption under the ice cap was 10 to 20 times more powerful than one last month, and carried a much greater risk of widespread flooding.

BRISTOL, ENGLAND - APRIL 15: A detail of an enchanced colour satellite image highlighting the ash plume moving towards the UK on at the Met Officeheadquarters April 15, 2010 in Exeter, England. The plume area is shown as a mix of cloud and ash resulting from the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland. All flights in and out of Britain's airports have been grounded due to the plume drifting across northern Europe following the eruption.
A radar image of the three craters forming the volcano at Eyjafjallajokull is pictured in this handout photo April 16, 2010. A volcanic eruption in Iceland, which has thrown up a 6-km (3.7 mile) high plume of ash and disrupted air traffic across northern Europe, has grown more intense, an expert said on Thursday.
Flash floods consisting of ash and ice descend from the volcano in Eyjafjallajokull down to the valley below April 15, 2010. A volcanic eruption in Iceland spewed black smoke and white steam into the air on Wednesday and partly melted a glacier, setting off a major flood that threatened to damage roads and bridges.

A huge ash cloud from an Icelandic volcano turned the skies of northern Europe into a no-fly zone on Thursday, stranding hundreds of thousands of passengers.
