For sale: Icelandic Volcano Ash


In early April 2010, dust and ash emmissions from the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull managed to cause havoc to the aviation industry and affected over 100,000 flights coming in and out of Europe. This air travel disruption is the most
extensive one in history and now you can own a piece of history – a sample of this very volcanic ash.

You can buy an ash sample ($22.50 or 17.75 Euro) from the eruption which are sent out in a glass jar and shipped to customers in a thick cardboard paperbox. All profits from the sale of the ash will be donated to the ICESAR association that have been helping with the safety in the area and also been helping with clean up with the farmers under Eyjafjallajökull.
