Volcanoes and travel

Europe is still reeling from the volcano that erupted in Iceland. The volcano has been spewing out smoke and ash that has left nearly every airport in Europe closed. The ash presents a threat to planes as it clogs up their engines creating an unsafe condition. This has led to many questions being asked as to the future of air travel in Europe.

Iceland’s volcano could erupt many more times in the future. It could also erupt for long periods of time. This could affect industry as well as health for millions of people. Trains and boats are trying to keep up with the increase in usage as people turn to these modes of travel to get around. I imagine we will have to wait and see what the results are of this travel interruption.
