Spectacular photos from the volcano due to the well chosen direction by Zivka Deleva

You may have wondered how comes when the whole air traffic industry was afraid to fly due to the volcano’s ash in Iceland, few photographers were able to take magnificent pictures. The spectacular scenes of the ash, the falling rocks and the lava coming out of the crater could be taken, though flights were cancelled more than 1000 miles away. "The irony was not lost on us that we were flying within feet or yards of an erupting volcano when the volcano was basically grounding every flight in Europe" – said ABC News Neal Karlinsky, who visited Eyjafjallajokull volcano twice in a week. The thing is that the wind carried the dust in the southeast direction, so at l! east helicopters get closer to the volcano from the northwest. So, when something bad happens, people always try to use the best of it, so the Helicopter Service of Iceland plans to take passengers for a view, if the weather is nice. Unlike big planes, this situation is not so difficult for propeller airplanes and that’s how all those beautiful and authentic photographs were taken. It is interesting that the International airport that serves Reykjavik which is situated about two hours west of the critical place, didn’t stop its work, like all the other bigger European countries. According to the experience of CNN’s Gary Tuchman, the force of the volcano appeared as it is from some “other world”. "Boulders were catapulted out of it. Lightning bolts could be seen every few seconds from the black and white smoke coming out of the crater. We were transfixed by what we were seeing so close." – he wrote on his blog. In a meanwhile, European! flying companies pushed on the European Union to speed up a r! eform of the air traffic control system, due to the blocking of the big part of the airspace. "The worst is now over, but there is a huge amount of work to be done to deal with crisis management," EU Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas said.
