Ash cloud fears: Icelandic volcano could erupt

Scientists in Iceland have warned that the country's Bardarbunga volcano could be about to erupt, and it could pose a risk to the aviation industry.

The country's Met Office has raised the risk level to orange, the second-highest level.

5 live's Phil Williams spoke to Professor Dougal Jerram, a Volcanologist from the University of Oslo.
