The Northern Lights are seen above the ash plume of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano on April 23. Iceland's volcanic eruption was spewing far less ash on Thursday and the plume of smoke was low, but a change of wind direction meant Iceland's airports were now set to close for the first time.

Activity is seen from the volcano in southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier on April 21. Geologists continued to keep a close watch on the Iceland volcano Eyjafjallajokull on Wednesday, as observers noticed a change in the eruption pattern. Instead of thick black smoke, the plume was almost white, and more like steam than black ash. Brynjar Gauti/AP

Eyjafjallajokull Volcano in Iceland is still causing travel chaos across Europe as many flights remain grounded.
Eyjafjallajokull Volcano continues to erupt and spew a large column of smoke and ash into the air.
A member of the German Air Traffic Control center crisis management group points at a map showing the estimated size and direction of the volcanic ash cloud over Europe, near Frankfurt, Germany, on April 20. The Eurocontrol air traffic agency in Brussels said it expects 55 to 60 percent of flights over Europe to go ahead Tuesday, a marked improvement over the last few days.
Ground staff secure a plastic protective cover on the engines of an aircraft at Belfast City Airport in Northern Ireland, on April 16.
This aerial photo shows a plume of ash rising from the volcano in southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier, on April 19. Scientists say because this volcano is located below a glacial ice cap, magma is being cooled quickly, causing explosions and plumes of grit that can be catastrophic to plane engines, depending on prevailing winds.
This picture, taken on April 15 from a helicopter, shows part of a dark cloud of smoke coming from a crater of an Icelandic volcano in eruption. The eruption fired ash across northern Europe, forcing the closure of huge swaths of international airspace.

The volcano in southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier sends ash into the air just prior to sunset on April 16. Thick drifts of volcanic ash blanketed parts of rural Iceland on Friday as a vast, invisible plume of grit drifted over Europe, emptying the skies of planes and sending hundreds of thousands in search of hotel rooms, train tickets, or rental cars.

Farmers team up to rescue cattle from exposure to the toxic volcanic ash at a farm in Nupur, Iceland, as the volcano in southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier sends ash into the air Saturday, April 17, 2010. Iceland's volcano, which has kept much of Europe land-bound, is far from finished spitting out its grit and offered up new mini-eruptions Saturday that raise concerns about longer-term damage to world air travel and trade.

A film crew working for National Geographic set up on southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier after landing on the glacier, close to the volcanic eruption, on April 18. Scientists say that because the volcano is situated below the glacial ice cap, magma is being cooled quickly, causing explosions and plumes of grit. The eruption is ongoing and forecasters have predicted that light prevailing winds in Europe mean that the situation for air travel is unlikely to change in the coming days.

Smoke and steam rises from the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland on April 14. The volcano erupted for the second time in less than a month earlier this week, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air, and forcing hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters. A huge ash cloud from the volcano caused further air travel chaos across Europe on Friday on a scale not seen since the Sept. 11 attacks, leaving hundreds of thousands of passengers stranded. About 17,000 flights were expected to be canceled on Friday due to the dangers posed by clouds of volcanic ash from Iceland, aviation officials said, with airports in Britain, France, Germany, and across Europe closed until at least Saturday.
