A new volcanic eruption in Iceland shut down the country's airspace on Sunday, a year after the eruption of nearby Eyjafjoell caused aviation chaos across Europe.
Experts and aviation authorities said however that the impact of the Grimsvotn eruption should not be as far-reaching.
Grimsvotn, Iceland's most active volcano located at the heart of its biggest glacier Vatnajoekull, began erupting late on Saturday (early Sunday AEST), sending a plume of smoke and ash as high as 20 kilometres (12 miles) into the sky.
