On Sunday, Iceland lowered its aviation alert level from red to orange, and the no-fly zone was lifted around the Bardarbunga volcano.
According to the Associated Press, the Icelandic Meteorological Office said their announcement Saturday that the volcano experienced subglacial eruption was wrong.
The Iceland Met Office raised the aviation alert level to red on Saturday, the highest alert level possible. If the volcano were to have an ash-emitting eruption, flights across Northern Europe could be cancelled.
The potential volcano eruption in Iceland has put UCF football’s travel plans in jeopardy, but with departure on Tuesday the team should have no trouble traveling unless the volcano erupts.
“We’re continuing to monitor the situation. We’ve been in touch with our charter/travel partners and our plans have not changed,” said Andy Seely, UCF Athletics Spokesman.
UCF kicks off the season on Aug. 30 in Ireland at the Croke Park Classic.
