About 800 people were evacuated Wednesday because of the risk of a volcanic eruption in southern Iceland, according to the Norwegian broadcasting company NRK. Evacuation carried out due to the high risk of a volcanic eruption at the Eyjafjallajökull glacier.



Volcanic eruption in Iceland led to the cancellation of flights in Britain today from 12 to 18 hours UK time (11-17 GMT). The authorities fear that the cloud of volcanic ash can damage the aircraft engines. No-fly airspace in the north of Sweden, Norway and Finland.



Volcanic eruption in Eyjafjallajökull glacier, located 150 kilometers from the capital of Iceland - Reykjavik, began in late March 2010. The eruption caused the melting of ice and extensive flooding in the south of Iceland.
