By Phil Bainbridge

May 23, 2011 - An Icelandic volcano is threatening to disrupt European air travel again, just a year after the last eruption grounded flights for almost a week. Ash from Grimsvotn volcano has created a plume 13km high and is expected to cover a large area of the North Atlantic by Tuesday morning.
