> COPENHAGEN - A volcano erupted under Iceland's biggest glacier,
> spewing thick black ash into the air and disrupting flights over
> eastern regions but posing little threat to people or property,
> officials said on Tuesday.
>
> The eruption began on Monday evening under the Vatnajokull glacier in
> eastern Iceland. Authorities issued a warning and directed all flights
> away from the column of smoke, which was 13 km (8 miles) high.
>
> "Flying into a cloud of volcanic ash is extremely dangerous," said
> Bergthor Bergthorsson of the Civil Aviation Administration. "It has
> been known to stop all four engines of an aircraft."
>
> Bergthorsson said the cloud of smoke was expected to drift 500 miles
> over the North Atlantic, and might move closer to the Norwegian coast.
>
> The eruption was not expected to threaten lives or homes as the area
> around Vatnajokull is scarcely populated. But the floods of water
> from melting glacial ice might damage roads south of the volcano, said
> Hjorleifur Sveinbjornsson, geologist at the Meteorological Office.
>
> "The eruption is stable, but we don't know yet how big it is, or how
> long it's going to last. It might last for a few days, or stretch into
> weeks," he said.
>
> Sveinbjornsson said the eruption was not expected to threaten the dam
> site at Karahnjukar, where Iceland is building a power plant for a new
> Alcoa aluminum smelter.
>
> "They could see the eruption from there though, and other places in
> eastern Iceland," he said. "They said it was quite a show, with
> lightning and everything - an incredible sight."
>
> The volcano is a part of Iceland's Grimsvotn volcanic system.
> Iceland's last eruption was in 2000 at one of its major volcanoes,
> Hekla.
