Eyjafjallajökull: five years on

It has been five years since Iceland's magnificent Eyjafjallajökull covered parts of the country in ash, brought chaos to the aviation industry, and gave the world its favourite tongue-twister of the new millenium.

The Eyjafjallajökull eruption began on 14 April 2010 and lasted over a month. Here is a reminder of some of the spectular images taken of the eruption five years ago.
