The eruption of Eyjafjallajokull (14 dez 2010 ano – 20 dez 2010 ano)
Descrição:
The eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, a glacier-covered volcano in Iceland, occurred in 2010 and gained global attention due to its significant impact on air travel. Starting in March and peaking in April, the volcanic activity produced a massive ash cloud that spread across Europe, disrupting air traffic for several weeks. The eruption caused the cancellation of thousands of flights, affecting millions of passengers. The ash cloud, combined with the volcano's glacial meltwater, led to flooding in nearby areas. Despite its moderate size, the eruption's impact on international airspace highlighted the far-reaching effects of volcanic activity.
