Beschreibung:
Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull Volcano burst into life for the first time in 190 years on March 20, 2010. A 500-meter- (2,000-foot) long fissure opened in the Fimmvörduháls pass to the west of the ice-covered summit of Eyjafjallajökull. Lava fountains erupted fluid magma, which quickly built several hills of bubble-filled lava rocks (scoria) along the vent. A lava flow spread northeast, spilling into Hrunagil Gully.
This natural-color satellite image shows lava fountains, lava flows, a volcanic plume, and steam from vaporized snow. The image was acquired on March 24, 2010, by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) aboard NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite. The lava fountains are orange-red, barely visible at the 10-meter (33-foot) resolution of the satellite. The scoria cones surrounding the fissure are black, as is the lava flow extending to the northeast. White volcanic gases escape from the vent and erupting lava, while a steam plume rises where the hot lava meets snow. (The bright green color along the edge of the lava flow is an artifact of the sensor.)

Ausbruch des Eyjafjallajökull 2010Der Ausbruch des Vulkan-Systems Eyjafjallajökull im Jahr 2010 fand in den Monaten März bis Mai an zwei etwa 8 km voneinander entfernten Stellen statt. Die ersten Eruptionen gab es am 20. März am Fimmvörðuháls, und am 14. April am Rande der Gipfel-Caldera. Weitere Eruptionen, in deren Folge erhebliche Asche-Mengen in die Atmosphäre geschleudert wurden, ereigneten sich bis zum 24. Mai. Dampfwolken über den Vulkanen bildeten sich noch bis zum Juli 2010. .. weiterlesen
