Eyjafjallajokull Volcano's Ash Plume Streaming Steadily

A visible image taken from the Moderate Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Instrument that flies aboard the satellite showed the ash plume streaming in a straighter, more steady path than the day before, indicating winds were stronger than they were May 9. The ash plume was moving in a south-southeasterly direction over the Northern Atlantic Ocean. Farther south in the image the ash plume became partially obscured by higher clouds (white). By May 10, the ash had reached North Africa, Turkey and Morocco.
