Icelands Grimsvotn eruption spurs air alert but limited impact
Iceland's Grimsvotn volcano erupted pouring ash and smoke high into the sky, prompting Keflavik airport closure and a 120 nautical mile no fly zone. Officials warn ash is coarser and less likely to ground global flights than last year's Eyjafjallajokull event, though some domestic cancellations occur and transatlantic routes avoid Iceland.
