Iceland Volcano

An Icelandair airplane sits on the tarmac as travelers wait for a flight inside the Akureyi Airport, Saturday, April 24, 2010, in Akureyi, Iceland. For the first time since the April 14 eruption, Iceland's major international airport was closed after shifting winds blew the ash cloud toward the capital of Reykjavik, west of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano. Trans-Atlantic flights on Icelandair that usually stop in Iceland were being rerouted through Glasgow in Scotland. Akureyi Airport remains open with an afternoon flight to Glasgow.
