ANIMATION: Volcano ash empties UK airspace

The animated gif is interesting, not least because it shows how busy UK airspace usually is ... covers 5:50am to 6:45am this morning (timestamp lower right).

Watching #ashtag on Twitter, it looks as though there's an emergency evacuation in that corner of Iceland, due to flooding.

Sunset here obscured, as it frequently is, by clouds. Normal ones.

You get a phenomenon that I think translates as 'Glacial hiccups' - the lava melts glacier ice and a vast amount of water floods out of the Glacier wiping out everything in its path.
