Shows the volcanic systems in Iceland including central volcanoes and fissure and dyke swarms, both active and extinet together with the principal fracture zones.
This year we had volcano behind the glacier Eyjafjallajökull. The area has been under constant surveilance in recent days because of earthquake activiety and it was clear that as feared. an eruption had started.
The ereption is located in Fimmvörduhals, a passager between two glacers, Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull. A popular walking path goes through the area, from Skógafoss in the south to Thórsmörk. Everty summer hvdereds, and perhaps thousands, walk through the area.
