Eyjafjallajökull
Eyjafjallajökull
 |
| Views from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption which began beneath the Eyjafjallajökull glacier in the south of Iceland on April 14th, 2010. At the beginning of the eruption meltwater flooded the immediate area and washed away parts of the main road. Magma coming into contact with glacial ice caused the chilled lava to form glass particles that were ejected into the upper atmosphere. These prticles and the extent and height of the ash plume halted air travel for many days. At later phases of the eruption ejecta the size of cars were propelled hundreds of meters nto the air. Previous eruptions in Eyjafjallajökull have occurred in 920, 1612, and from 1821-1823. |

| Photo taken early morning May 2nd 2010. The eruption beneath the Eyjafjallajökull glacier in the south of Iceland began April 14th, 2010. Magma coming into contact with the ice caused the chilled lava to form glass particles that were ejected into the uper atmosphere and were considered to be hazardous to air travel. The ash plume reached heights that halted jet travel for many days. Meltwater from the eruption also caused flooding and washed away parts of the main road. Previous eruptions in Eyjafjallajökull have occurred in 920, 1612, and from 1821-1823. |
