Icelandic Volcano "Eyjafjallajökull" classified as "dormant" as of 08/24/2010

I am extremely surprised - given the global pandemonium it caused earlier this year - that virtually no news source is reporting that the Eyjafjallajökull volcano is officially classified as "dormant" as of today, 08/24/2010.

Strangely enough, while composing this post and going back to Google the topic once more - more and more stories have "erupted" to report on the new officially dormant classification. The Daily Mail and Reuters at least seem to be on the ball.

The volcano had to have gone through a three month period of "paused activity" before being classified as dormant - and it entered a pause in it's activity on May 24th, 2010. This is no doubt great news for anybody planning travel by air - and that includes us!
