Volcano: The view from satellite


A computer enhanced image provided by the German Aerospace Center, DLR, on Friday, April 16, 2010, shows a photo of the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier on Iceland taken by the TerraSAR-X satellite on Thursday evening, April 15, 2010 . The volcano in Iceland, which erupted for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air forced hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters. Flights around the world have been canceled and passengers stranded as the ash cloud from the volcano affected operations at some of the world's busiest airports. (AP Photo/DLR, TerraSAR-X)
