Hi folks (we’re just back from Dublin, apparently not saying folks is illegal there), we just wanted to share with you a little gem that we found on the interwebs the other day. As the title of this post might suggest, it’s a visualisation of the recent mess caused by the Eyafjallajokull volcano. We were lucky, and were not affected, although we did fly the week after the air space was shut in half-Europe. Unfortunately, Gioia’s parents were supposed to fly to Spain but decided not to, they didn’t want to risk being stranded in Seville.
Anyways, enough with the chit-chat. We wanted to share with you this amazing video produced by the guys at ITO World (our friend Chris aka @osbornec works there): it’s “a visualisation of the northern European airspace returning to use after being closed due to volcanic ash”.
Visualisation by ITO World and Ideasintransit, flight data by FlightRadar24 and map data by the awesome OpenStreetMap.
