Good visual journalist be alert!
How do you believe in these maps when the information is not very good?
Look at the first ones and you will see how unreliable they are.
This will be a great challenge for my infographic friends.
But they will end doing a good job.
You will see.
The BBC has done this basic one:
Anoher version with the same data posted by the European edition of The Wall Street Journal website from the U.K. Met Office with an illustration of the volcanic ash dispersion from the surface to 20,000 feet, issued at 6 a.m. on Thursday.
According to The Times of London the red line on this map of the level of ash shows the exent of debris between surface and 20,000 feet
A late arrival from The New York Times.
And The Telegraph included this picture from a real-time radar image showing all aircraft movements in UK airspace at 9.30am today.
The image from www.radarvirtuel.com shows how ash from the Icelandic volcano stopped all flights in the northern parts of UK.
Here you can see who is flying in Europe… with IUK air space as no-fly-zone.
Lainformacion.com in Spain has a bigger map with more or less the same data.
Lainformacion.com’s logo gets some of the ashes too…
El Pais in Madrid shows the Meteosat 9 images and this the best way to understand the size and impact of the volcanic ashes.

And in Twitter going to ashes you can see this incredibly beautiful picture
The BBC offers this fantastic pictures saying:
An image made available by NEODASS/University of Dundee which shows the volcanic ash plume from Iceland, top left, to the north of Britain as received by NASA’s Terra Satellite at 11.39 GMT Thursday April 15, 2010. Photo: NEODAAS/University of Dundee/AP
More, later.
