The volcano that has erupted spewing ash in Iceland has managed to capture the attention of the world with its ability to halt air travel.
Mount Eyjafjallajoekull - try saying that over your cornflakes - erupted last time in 1821, and the volcanic ash clouds spewing out of it continued for 2 years! We may be in for a bit of disruption yet.
A massive cloud of volcanic dust has covered vast areas of northern Europe after the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano erupted in Iceland on 14 April.
Air freight is one of the things that has been severely disrupted.
Word is exotic fruit is going to disappear from supermarket shelves very rapidly.
At this point we all know of someone inconvenienced in their travel arrangements by the cloud. Perhaps it may be one of those paradigm shifting events that push us into a new reality of life without air travel for years.
Needless to say the airlines are already doing test flights into the airspace to try and prove that it is safe to fly.
Stalker will be putting any travel plans on hold for a wee while yet. No wings, no fly.
