Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland

Eyjafjallajökull is one of the smaller glaciers of Iceland. It is situated to the north of Skógar and to the west of the bigger glacier Mýrdalsjökull.

The icecap of the glacier covers a volcano which has erupted rather frequently since the Ice Age. The last eruption was from 1821 to 1823, causing a fatal glacier run.
