22 May 2011 - It seems to be THAT time of year again. The Icelandic authorities have imposed a local flight ban after the country's most active volcano, Grimsvotn, began erupting. A plume of smoke has risen 20km (12 miles) into the sky from the volcano.And although Iceland's Meteorological Office says the eruption should not cause widespread disruption to air traffic, I am worried about upcoming holiday plans.Last year, ash clouds from another Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajokul, led to the closure of a large section of European airspace. Anyway, not much that can de done about it - but to enjoy the beautiful picture.
