The Eyjafjallajökull volcano giveth and the Eyjafjallajökull volcano taketh away.

The trouble-making volcano under an Iceland glacier blew hot and less hot Monday, alternately creating despair and hope among European airlines.

The National Air Traffic Services in the United Kingdom was optimistic that some flights might be able to get in and out of London tomorrow, but late this evening was sounding pessimistic again.

“The volcano eruption in Iceland has strengthened and a new ash cloud is spreading south and east towards the UK,” a NATS statement noted. “This demonstrates the dynamic and rapidly changing conditions in which we are working.”
