What creates this dust cloud over Europe is not the eruption itself but the mixing of the hot lava with the snow and ice in the volcano's crater. That creates the explosive conditions that in turn send the dust up into 6-10 km height from where it spreads. Once all the ice is melted in the next week or two, it will just be a garden-variety lava flow, a strictly local issue.
