LONDON (AP) — Officials in Iceland say there is very little activity at the Eyjafjallajokul volcano — but it is too early to say whether the eruption that has disrupted global air travel is over.
Iceland’s Meteorological Office said Sunday that "the eruption activity is minimal."
Civil Protection Agency official Iris Marelsdottir says some steam is coming out of the volcano, but no ash. She says "it’s too early to say this is over, but at the moment it is quiet."
Eyjafjallajokul (pronounced ay-yah-FYAH-lah-yer-kuhl) erupted April 14 for the first time in nearly two centuries.
Danger to planes from the volcanic ash plume led most northern European countries to shut their airspace April 15-20, grounding an estimated 10 million travelers worldwide.
