Don't know if it's been nationally announced, but I've just heard on the Scottish news that airports in Scotland and Northern Ireland were closed again today because of volcanic ash!

It was on the news here a night or two ago that they were expected to close (sorry, I can't be accurate.... been a long week )
It was mentioned that it may effect English airspace too at some point, but that hasn't materialised so far.

i heard it on the news today and yesterday
I heard it the other day
Any news on the passport yet Charli?
None. But I secretly hope it doesn't come before Tuesday cos my favourite song's released here on that day. It can come after that.
I heard that on the news earlier today EFFT and I think they said the Isle of Man airport was closed at some point to.....
Yep they are closed and it might affect the whole of the Uk again etc.In one of our papers up here (scotland) a scientist stated that there's the potential that there will be a huge eruption as the Icelandic volcano supposedly is very unstable.
It seems some behave themselves better than others.

We guard against terrorism-- but Mother Nature causes more mahem in the end. Just think what would happen if the Caldera in Yellowstone decided to erupt again---- I have seen the film, and the consequences..
Real..saw that programme too.A "Super Volcano" it's allegedly overdue.It would cause a mass extinction of life on earth,who knows if we or what would survive.
Man's arrogance that we would somehow survive anything..

This is a link to the official Yellowstone Volcano Oberservatory website.
The current level of volcanic activity is normal and the experts do not consider that there is any imminent threat of a catastrophic eruption, though nothing can be ruled out.
The last 2 catastrophic eruptions occurred at intervals of 800,000 years and 660,000 years. The last one occurred 640,000 years ago, so assuming that the next one occurred at the 660,000 year interval we have another 20,000 years to go before the next one.

The intervals seem to be getting shorter so it might be a bit less than 20,000 years before the next one!
