Volcanic Eruptions Interferes With Going Back To School

The eruptions of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano are causing problems all over the world, as the clouds of volcanic ash make it unsafe to use airplanes. This causes a lot of people to get stuck on their holidays, as the planes will not fly them home. To make matters worse, the Easter holidays are over in England and a lot of people are stuck, so there are a lot of empty desks in the schools now.

It also does not seem that the problem is going to be over soon. Volcanologists say that the eruptions will not stop anytime soon, but the airport are starting to test if they can fly on lower altitudes, or to see if they can avoid the clouds. Even President Obama had troubles with the airports being down, as he couldn't attend to the funeral of the late Polish president.




I think the cloud of volcanic ash will bring more troubles with it, as airplanes are going to be down for quite some time now, which will result in heavy losses and probably people getting fired. It is a serious problem, as the people that are stuck in their holiday countries, can not attend to school, while the exams are coming up pretty fast now. The problem is, that there are no solutions to the volcanic eruptions and the clouds of ash they spread.

The only things that could work, is to search for alternative transport, or to attend classes online, with the airports providing computer workspaces to any students that might miss important exam theory. As for now, the only thing we can do, is wait and hope for the best and that the Eyjafjallajökull will start to become inactive again.
