- The coming hours will be closed all airports
- The explosion of Gkrimsvetn considered more
possible from that of Eiafialaiokoul that paralyzed Europe

Iceland closed its airspace and the largest airport after the eruption of the most active volcano in the country, Gkrimsvetn, Saturday, and it is estimated that within days will be closed and other airports, announced today the Civil Aviation Authority.

"The Gkrimsvetn volcano is very powerful and so closely monitored, even though the last eruption was harmless," said Pal Einarson, geophysicist at the University of Iceland, told the website of the newspaper Morgunbladid.
