Volcanic Ash Cloud - 19 Apr 2010

The pictures were taken at Manchester Airport during the volcanic ash cloud disruption on 19th April 2010. it was quite surreal being at the airport without the usual jet noise as the audible backdrop.

The 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull were volcanic events at Eyjafjöll in Iceland which, although relatively small for volcanic eruptions, caused enormous disruption to air travel across western and northern Europe over an initial period of six days in April 2010. About 20 countries closed their airspace (a condition known as ATC Zero) and it affected hundreds of thousands of travellers. The European flights avoided about 344,109 tonnes of CO2 emissions per day, while the volcano emitted about 150 000 tonnes of CO2 per day.
