    I would hazard a guess that it’s dependent on even more than region. Wasn’t it an Icelandic volcano that shut down air travel because of ash a few years back?

      When it erupts underneath a glacier, it causes huge clouds of ash to form. The volcano you’re talking about (Eyjafjallajökull) is a glacier volcano in the highlands whereas this one is on the Reykjanes peninsula on the west side.
