Icelandic volcano eruption

This was the 2011 eruption in Iceland. Geographers would use this image to determine the approximate size and impact of the eruption. Potential impacts include shutting down flights across Europe, evacuation and inability to obtain certain commodities. As well, with large eruptions, the dust in the air grows so dense that the sun cannot breach through to provide sunlight for the area. This can impact the agriculture enormously.
