How ash could damage air planes
Several European countries have closed their airspace after a cloud of ash thrown up by a volcano in Iceland spread over the continent.
The tiny particles of ash could cause severe damage to aircraft as they could get sucked into jet engines, clog fuel systems and obscure window screens.
Al Jazeera's Emma Hayward explains.
An eruption of chaos across Europe
The eruption of an Icelandic volcano has paralysed air traffic in much of Europe and other parts of the world.
It is is showing no signs of slowing down and scientists are wary of making any predicitons. The last time a volacano erupted in southern Iceland, nearly two centuries go, it lasted two years.
