On March 20, the Eyjafjallajokull (pheeew ;o) volcano bursts for the first time in 190 years

2 days later, lava continues

to spew out

and spill

into nearby canyons

April 14 : the Icelandic Civil Protection Department orders evacuations of towns and farms near the volcano due to flooding caused by the melting snow and sub-glacial eruption

15 April 2010 : an image issued by the University of Dundee from

Nasa's Terra satellite shows the ash plume travelling

from Iceland to the north of the UK
