(This article relates to the 2010 eruption at Eyjafjallajokull. For information on the May 2011 eruption at Grimsvotn, please check the IceNews homepage for regular updates) “Heat seeking pictures show that the there is no activity in the volcano,” says Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson, Professor of Geophysics. He flew over the volcano today to do research into the activity of the Eyjafjallajokull Volcano. It looks like this small but infamous volcano has stopped spewing ash, and may not be starting again.
“Heat seeking pictures are not showing more than 100 degrees Celsius and that tells us that the crater of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano has no activity.”
This comes as great news to the Icelandic tourism sector, and for those flying to Iceland with airlines like Icelandair things are looking good again.

Still quiet… good for 2011.
But what happens when it goes kaboom again, imagine an even bigger boom next time.. Everything will go dark
Hopefully we won’t have to worry about that ^^
Its exactly one year ago and now another volcano on Iceland, Grimsvotn, has started erupting again. Amazing.
Sorry for my bad English, here in my country, Mexico, just as there are several semi-active volcanos, it’s a little scary but if you see any other way is also very interesting to learn more about them. The good news is that Eyjafjallajokull volcano stopped its activity, not how active and dangerous is that volcano but it is much better to find it on calm. I need to say that the photos on this website are really impressive. Thank you, Alex Aguirre
