Iceland's most active volcano, Grímsvötn, erupted on Saturday for the first time since 2004, hurling a plume of steam and ash nearly 20 kilometers (12 miles) into the sky. People living next to the glacier where the Grímsvötn volcano burst into life were most severely affected, with ash blocking out the daylight and smothering buildings and vehicles. Iceland also closed its main international airport and canceled domestic flights on Sunday, and aviation officials will be closely monitoring European airspace for the next few days. The outburst is the volcano's most powerful since 1873 -- stronger than the Eyjafjallajokull volcano which caused trouble last year -- but it may not cause the same degree of upheaval. Scientists say the type of ash being spewed out is less easily dispersed and winds have so far been more favorable than during last year's blast. Gathered here are a handful of images taken in the land of fire and ice over the weekend. (More photos will be added today, as warranted.) [23 photos]
冰岛最活跃的火山格里姆(Grímsvötn)火山在星期六爆发,这是自2004年以来它的第一次喷发,大量的气体和火山灰被抛上20公里(12英里)的天空。居住在附近的居民的生活受到严重的影响,火山灰遮天蔽日,甚至让人窒息。在周日,冰岛关闭了主要的国际机场,国内航班也被取消。航空官员将密切关注近期欧洲的空域。这次的火山爆发是1873年来最大的一次,比去年爆发的艾雅法拉火山(Eyjafjallajokull)还要严重,但是这次不会造成那么严重的影响。科学家说这次火山爆发喷出的火山灰更不容易消散。下面收集的是在周末拍摄的为数不多的照片。
