Volcanic Ash Could Last Months, Larger Nearby Volcano Could Soon Erupt Too - Eyjafjallajokull volcanic ash - Gizmodo

Now, experts are saying that the Eyjafjallajokull eruption could likely trigger activity at Mount Katla, a nearby glacier volcano that's even larger and potentially more dangerous. It's not erupted since 1918, but "volcanologists" are saying it's very close to blowing its top. We can already expect the volcanic ash to hang around in the skies for the next couple of weeks, but if Katla goes then it might last for months. Back in 1783 another volcano in Iceland caused thick fog across Europe and even spread as far as the US, for eight whole months.
