Initial reports this morning suggested the ash cloud was heading to Greenland, but now scientists say it is on its way to Europe.

Smoke plumes from the Grimsvotn volcano create a stunning scene about 120 miles east of Rejkjavik

Keflavik airport has been closed to air passengers as of 8.30am this morning following the eruption
