The volcano in Iceland, which erupted for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air forced hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters. Flights around the world have been cancelled and passengers stranded as the ash cloud from the volcano affected operations at some of the world's busiest airports.
