Millions watch Iceland volcano tear ... around webcam

Millions of people around the universe have been tracking the tear of Icelands Eyjafjjoell volcano minute-to-minute from their homes by webcams transmitting the wake up live online.

More than 4 million Internet users from 150 countries have logged onto http://mila.is/english/ given the volcano began erupting on Apr fourteen to watch the clouded cover of ash that has played massacre in European skies, the sites administrators said.

The figure is a jot down for an Icelandic website, they said, adding that trade was increased by the countless general sites that have posted a couple to the webcams.

Retiree Solveig Eyjolfsdottir told AFP she watched the tear each day from her home in Reykjavik.

"Its fascinating, absolute and pleasing to watch but it creates me unhappy to think of all the tillage land that is going to rubbish given of the ash," she said.

"This is a pleasing piece of Iceland and it is being destroyed. People are loosing their lifes work given of the ash," she added.

The webcams were commissioned to concede locals to balance in and check for themselves either mess was imminent.

Police in the area surrounding the volcano pronounced however they did not rely on the cameras to rapt them to risk given a rescue group and military had been henceforth onsite given the tear began some-more than a week ago.

But given the cameras promote the tear live to the world, they have "spared (the police) most phone calls," military military officer Atli Olafsson said.
