“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.”
