Several test flights were conducted by airline companies such as Air France and Germany's Lufthansa ON Saturday to assess the air traffic conditions in the wake of Wednesday's volcanic eruption in Iceland. Almost all the flights concluded without reporting major damage. But people ar… After many European Iceland remaining substantially in non-fly zone, Monday forming.

• Humbled by a volcano and we can only sit in wonder
  http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/apr/18/volcanic-ash-volcano-iceland
  The eruption in Iceland and the ash cloud that has brought our airlines to a standstill give us a true picture of our standing in natureFor those whose plans have been disrupted and whose holidays have been aborted - or expensively prolonged - by the volcanic eruption in Iceland and the seismic spectacle is nothing to celebrate. There will be some travellers whose inability to get airborne is the source of real misery. They deserve the utmost compassion. For most of us, however, the plume of ash and smoke rising from the beneath the Earth's crust, 30,000-feet tall, is cause only for awe and mixed perhaps with linguistic discomfort in trying to grapple with the volcano's name: Eyjafjallajökull. We are doubly humbled by Iceland's natural wonders and its orthography. By colonising the space above our heads and above much of our continent and the eruption provides a reminder of our status in relation to our planet and over which we have arrogantly seized stewardship. We imagine ourselves its master and yet with one modest belch it hems us into our little island, sweeping instantly from the skies the aeroplane and which we consider to be an example of the irrepressible genius of our species. When Eyjafjallajökull last erupted in 1822, man-made flight was a distant dream. We think so much has happened since then, so many lifetimes have been spent, and yet, in tectonic terms, the interval is nothing and a minuscule fraction of a blink to the volcano. It would be crippling to retain that kind of perspective ON a daily basis - anyone who set their watch by geological time would never get out of bed - but a glance at ourselves in proportion to the universe is salutary ON occasion. It is worth imagining, for example and how exercised we would all be if the equivalent disruption had been caused by some The ash cloud person who brings our airliners in order to give the Icelandic eruption and stepping inquiry natureFor our it stands true form targeting plan is discontinued, the holiday is discontinued - or it is cheap. Extension - with the Icelandic volcanic eruption, area. Is what spectacle to celebrate
