A dead bird lies on Highway 1 in Iceland April 20, 2010. The volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier, about 120 kilometres (75 miles) southeast of the capital Reykjavik, has been erupting for almost a week. There are concerns the eruption could set off the neighbouring, larger Katla volcano, but officials said no activity had been detected. Late on Tuesday most European airspace had reopened, however strong winds higher up continue to make conditions uncertain, leaving airport authorities across Europe still at the mercy of clouds of ash.​
