Something news related: planes don't like vulcano's. I do like Vulcano pictures for when I don't need to fly.




It's particularly awesome how the vulcanic ashes become statically charged and thus create lightning.

Wow, very nice pictures; I never knew about the lightning, but it does look very cool!

Feel sorry for the ones who planned to fly though, it's a real mess...

[EvilWhiteDragon]

True about the planes. Even worse for those that need them for their jobs.

Though I have to say that volcanoes look nicely apocalyptic

I for one love this vulcano, one of my teachers is stuck in some country because of it
I also heard there's another bigger vulcano that could erupt.

More pics for extra awesomesauce.

Geology (L)

@Blind, there is a bigger volcano next to it, which in the past 3 eruptions of the volcano who is currently active, also erupted afterwards.
It might take a while before stuff is back to normal again.

So all of your nations' controlled airspaces are also shut down?

Hehe... quote from the Wikipedia page Controlled Airspace:

"It is the opposite of Uncontrolled Airspace"
...
well... duh...

Here in Canada, we aren't affected. Well, I guess we are in an indirect way. Some of our people are still stuck over there.

Blame Canada!

Danish airspace has been open for about 24 hours... How about yours?

[Blind3001]

Same here.
