Barnaby Bear goes to Eyjafjallajökull
Barnaby Bear is very brave. He decided to go to see the volcano Eyjafjallajökull. It is
in Iceland.
Here is Eyjafjallajökull
Europe map
Here is Iceland. It is a long wayFrom Romania.
Barnaby Bear was very curious to see what all the fuss was about!
Barnaby Bear spoke to his friend Ulfur, who is a scientist.
What’s going on now!
Ulfur explained that a volcano is an opening in the earth’s surface which allows hot magma, ash and gases to escape from
below the surface.
magma / lava
ash
gas
This makes the area very hot and dangerous. When a volcano erupts, people often need to move away from the area.
Wow!
The Eyjafjallajökull volcano started to erupt recently on 20th March 2010. It has been
erupting all the time for more than a whole month!
People living at the bottom of the volcano were moved to other areas. Some people
moved into bigger towns and to the capital city, Reykjavik.
This is what the area at the bottom of Eyjafjallajökull looks like now. It was very
difficult for Barnaby to see anything!
Now Barnaby Bear understands why the aeroplane pilots do not want to fly through the ash!
Barnaby can see that the ash is spreading quickly. Here is a map showing how the ash
can spread.
Lots of people who needed to travel on aeroplanes had to wait at airports for a long
time.
Oh no!
And Miss Collins hopes to see you all soon too!
Barnaby Bear really enjoyed his trip to Iceland but hopes that he will soon be able to return to Romania!
