Volcanic ash heading to the UK

Please see comment from Professor Bill McGuire, professor at the Aon Benfield UCL Hazard Research Centre, on the cloud of ash from Iceland’s erupting Eyjafjöll volcano heading towards the UK, causing major disruption to UK domestic air traffic.

Background
The 1600 meter high Eyjafjöll volcano (also known as Eyjafjallajökull) is located in southern Iceland, immediately west of Katla volcano. Eyjafjöll is an elongated, ice-covered volcano topped by a 2.5 kilometre wide summit caldera. The volcano appears to have been relatively inactive over the last 10,000 years, and the sole historical eruption, prior to this year, occurred in 1821.
