volcano eruption in Eyjafjallajoekull Iceland, which has been dormant for two thousand years.
The vast ash cloud reached up to 11 kilometers into the atmosphere and caused the cancellation of thousands of flights in Europe.
But who was on his way prepared to camp in the crater and spend the night?
moving along nearby was the team Desafio Extremo !
go and I that I added to my Blacklist 2010 a little joke! : D
Statements Calleja Jesus :
"We were heading to the crater of Eyjafjallajoekull. We were caught in a storm and saw nothing. It was for about 10 minutes when the storm cleared a little and let us see where we were when we saw the smoke . If the wind direction had changed to only 30 degrees the cloud of ash and toxic fumes that we had thrown over. "
Uuuyyyyyy that close! xD
But let the experts:
"This is not like the Pinatubo. So far, the scale is not large enough to have a global effect," says Hans Olav Hygen, a climate researcher at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.
The background is slightly reassuring. A cloud poison caused by the eruption of Laki, also in Iceland, in 1784, killing thousands in Europe and affected the agricultural production by releasing an estimated 120 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the air. That amount of sulfur dioxide was three times more than that emitted by European industry in 2006. Challenging
