The sun sets behind the Palace of Westminster, in London April 15, 2010. A huge ash cloud from an Icelandic volcano turned the skies of northern Europe into a no-fly zone on Thursday, stranding hundreds of thousands of passengers. The european air safety organisation said the disruption, the biggest seen in the region, could last another two days and a leading volcano expert said the ash could present intermittent problems to air traffic for six months if the eruption continued.REUTERS/Andrew Winning (BRITAIN - Tags: TRAVEL ENVIRONMENT SOCIETY)

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Andrew Winning, the Palace of Westminster stands tall as the sun sets behind it on April 15,2010. However, what makes this image particularly significant is the dramatic ash cloud that dominates the sky above London. This immense cloud resulted from a volcanic eruption in Iceland, which transformed the skies of northern Europe into a no-fly zone. The repercussions of this natural phenomenon were far-reaching and disruptive. Hundreds of thousands of passengers found themselves stranded due to flight cancellations caused by the ash cloud's presence in European airspace. The European air safety organization predicted that this disruption could persist for another two days, while leading volcano experts warned that intermittent problems with air traffic might persist for up to six months if the eruption continued. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of nature's unpredictable force and its ability to impact our daily lives. It captures both beauty and chaos simultaneously – an iconic landmark bathed in warm sunlight juxtaposed against an ominous ash-filled sky. As viewers gaze upon this image, they are transported back to a moment when travel plans were abruptly halted and society was reminded of its vulnerability in the face of natural disasters.
