Eyjafjallajökull is settling down

But everyone is still holding their breath on the much larger neighbor, Katla. Historically, when Eyjafjallajökull blows, so does Katla. Air travel still sounds questionable and is likely to stay in this state for months to come.

There has been a marked drop in the volcanic activity in Iceland that has disrupted flights across Europe for more than a month, and observers say the volcano "appears to be dormant".

Icelandic scientists said that their latest readings at Eyjafjallajökull found little eruption activity, although they warned it was too early to say it was completely over.

Heat camera footage from early indicated that the temperature inside the crater had dropped to 100C, meaning the volcano is now producing steam rather than magma and ash, according to the status report issued by the Icelandic Met Office and Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Iceland.
