in airport warehouses in other parts of the world.

　　Geologists reported that activity at the volcano increased yesterday, spewing a plume of ash 5.3 miles high into the atmosphere.

　　The Icelandic Meteorological Office said the winds blowing the volcanic ash south east to Europe and up into Scandinavia and Russia will continue in the same direction for at least two days and could go on until Wednesday. But scientists fear there could be more eruptions from the 5，466-foot volcano, Mount Eyjafjallajkull.

　　A university geophysicist said：“From what we ’ve seen, it could erupt，pause for a few week，and then possibly erupt again. It could go on for months. ” As the no fly zone expanded yesterday, so did the chaos. The Icelandic volcano causing travel chaos across Europe could go on erupting for months, geologists have warned.

　　The National Air Traffic Control Service ( Nats) extended restrictions on flights from British airports to 7p. m. on Sunday, with the expectation of further extensions.

　　Ferry operators have reported record bookings. P&O took 6,000 foot passengers across the channel on Friday compared to the 100 to 200 it would expect on a normal Friday in April.

　　Eurostar trains were fully booked until tomorrow, with 50,000 more passengers than normal since the airline disruption (中断）began on Thursday，including comedian John Cleese who arrived back in London last night after a most difficult overland journey from Switzerland.
