Eyjafjallajökull (translation: island-mountain glacier) covers an Icelandic volcano that erupted on March 20 and then again on April 14. I'm sure you've all heard about the extreme disruption that it's volcanic ash is causing in northern Europe. The event actually marks the largest grounding of airplanes since the second World War. There are many students here at my school in Copenhagen that have had to cancel travel plans, many visiting parents that are stranded here and friends of my host family that are stuck in other countries until the air clears.
Fun Fact: Copenhagen has the #1 metro system in the world!
