Space Esa Volcanıc Ash

epa02118357 A handout photograph released by the European Space Agency (ESA) shows an image, acquired on 15 April 2010 by Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS), of the vast cloud of volcanic ash sweeping across the UK from the eruption in Iceland, more than 1.000 km away. The ash, which can be seen as the large grey streak in the image, is drifting from west to east at a height of about 11 km above the surface Earth. One flight out of four in Europe has been grounded due to the ash cloud caused by an erupting volcano in Iceland, an official from the European air-traffic control body said 15 April.  EPA/ESA HANDOUT  EDITORIAL USE ONLY/NO SALES
