Iceland sought to temper concerns that an imminent volcanic eruption would wreak widespread havoc on European aviation as happened in 2010.
An eruption is expected within days at Grindavik, a small fishing town in the country’s southwest, with a 15-kilometer (9-mile) magma tunnel underneath the town. The level of disruption to travel is dependent on whether magma emerges on land or in water, with the latter more likely to generate an explosive event and shoot ash up into the atmosphere.
