EYJAFJALLAJÖKULL
ASH FROM EYJAFJALLAJÖKULL, 2010
VOLCANO HOUSE (ISL)
When a sub-glacial eruption occurs, the volcano melts gigantic amounts of the glacier, which falls into the volcano. This combination of water and magma creates a bubbling cauldron with tiny explosions which, in turn, creates this incredibly fine ash but produces no lava. This was present in the ash cloud which caused significant disruption to air travel in 2010.
