Volcanic ash cloud resources


A reminder that, as UK airspace reopens (for the time being ??) some ideas and resources are now available on the GA website.
Thanks to Ian Hardie of Rayburn Tours for the images.

Updates
Just seen the term "ashmaggedon" being used to describe the situation....

Also check out FLIGHT RADAR 24 to track some flights in real time - where are they going ? What is the mood like aboard ?

The FLIGHT RADAR site allows you to see air traffic live (thanks to Indra Persaud for the tipoff....)

Also some useful maps and other details on this BBC NEWS page.

Thanks to Steve Brace for sending through some interesting links from the GEOGRAPHY IN THE NEWS website run by the Royal Geographical Society.

Thanks for the link to a RADIO 5 programme link which features Dr. Rita Gardner from the RGS - listen from about 10 minutes in for a brief interview piece...

The volcanic eruption was also good timing for an event being held at the RGS on the 25th of May as part of the 21st CENTURY CHALLENGES series. The event is on the topic of "Natural Disasters - how can we improve...."
