Vulcão eyjafjallajokull da islândia 14a25abril2010
1. Coluna de fumaça de mais de 6 km de altura é vista saindo da cratera do vulcão na geleira de Eyjafjallajokul
2. Scientists are unsure exactly how long
the volcano will keep erupting...
it could be days or up to two years
3. A volcano near Eyjafjallajokull glacier was dormant for 200 years but awoke and erupted on March 20, 2010
causing a 1 kilometer long fissure on an ice field, spewing lava hundreds of meters high. The eruption of
Eyjafjallajokull forced the country to close its airspace and evacuate more than 500 people. The Eyjafjallajokull
volcano is located in south Iceland, about 120 km east of Icelandic capital city Reykjavik

9. This image is taken with a 200mm lens so the two persons are not that close to the eruption.
They stand on another small mountain about 400m away from it. The lens just fools the eye.

12. When the 1000 C hot lava mass and the snow/ice come into contact huge clouds of steam are
formed. Occasional explosions also occur as steam gets trapped under hardened lava.
