Iceland’s volcano ash is so dangerous that flying through the dust particles has been described by a pilot as being ‘a bit like negotiating one’s way up a badger’s arse”.
Airline traffic in Britain and other parts of northern Europe is at a standstill because of ash and smoke spewing into the air from a volcano in Iceland.
The ash, which can damage a plane’s engine, has blown as far south as London, officials said, forcing airlines to cancel hundreds of flights in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia.
