However, an Icelandic expert says the volcano has been stable in recent days, and the ash disrupting flights in Europe was likely emitted last week and could continue causing chaos for a while to come.
"The problem with the disruption in the flights is that the ash we see over Europe, is not from today or yesterday. It is much older," said Bjoern Oddsson of the Institute of Earth Sciences at the Iceland University.
"Ash can travel around in the atmosphere due to winds, and we really don't know when it will settle down. So even if the volcano stops, we can look at this problem for a couple of weeks after," he said
