May 18th, 2015; a day about as forgettable as it gets. That was the day when Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull Volcano erupted and blanketed Europe in ash and sulfur dioxide. It's hard to imagine what this could do to Europe considering that the eruption had been predicted weeks before but people were still caught off-guard. The shocking part about it is that scientists/volcanologists never gave any warnings or guidance of what to expect from this volcanic event because they never thought an eruption would occur again so soon. The eruption was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, rekindling the memory of the last volcanic eruption that halted air traffic in Europe for days; or rather weeks. The European Space Agency (ESA) had their eyes on Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull Volcano because it had been rumbling and steaming for months before the eruption. The ESA received warning signs that an eruption was eminent but they never issued any warnings to any parties concerned about it. It seems that the scientists thought that there wasn't going to be any real danger associated with this event. They were wrong. The eruption of Eyjafjallajokull Volcano was the biggest fear for air travelers, but they didn't know what it would do to their planes or how bad the damage would be to their planes if they landed safely in their destination countries. The fear of missing flights is something that gave them nightmares. It is fair to say that they never expected this kind of an eruption again so soon. As the hours went by, the ash cloud began to cover the European skies like a foggy blanket with no end in sight. The cloud hung above Europe like boiling cinder blocks with little wisps of ash floating with it; resembling some kind of devilish snow storm on Earth's surface. It was very difficult to distinguish the ash from the thick cloud layer that had formed. Air traffic was lost around the same time that the volcanic event began because flights were being diverted to different airports to avoid getting caught in the smoke cloud. The ash cloud wasn't just a thick, gray blanket of fog over Europe, but it was also volcanically warmed by its way down through Earth's atmosphere. Scientists and volcanologists were completely shocked when they saw this little island volcano erupt so soon after another volcanic eruption in Iceland just a few years before. The last eruption of Eyjafjallajokull Volcano was in 2010 and the next eruption was predicted to happen within a generation or so. The scientists were certain that they weren't going to see this volcano erupt again so soon because it would have been too risky, but the experts were wrong. Eyjafjallajokull Volcano had more than one surprise in store for them. Eyjafjallajokull Volcano erupted on May 18, 2015 after almost 8 hours of volcanic activity; sending up ash plumes hundreds of thousands of feet into the air and blocking flights over Europe for days on end. cfa1e77820
