Iceland's Volcano Continues Erupting As Europe Reconsiders Flight Bans

The Icelandic volcano continues erupting even as government aviation authorities are reconsidering lifting their flight bans that have resulted in massive delays, cancellations, and stranded passengers on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Some flights have resumed, but it will take some time before the backlog of passengers displaced by the canceled flights is cleared. Yet, there's a concern that the eruption could pick up again and threaten to shut down flights across much of northern Europe and the United Kingdom.
