Eyjafjallajökull eruption, 2010
The April eruption beneath an ice-covered volcano produced an ash plume and meltwater flooding. NASA reported evacuations associated with rapidly increasing river flow.
An eruption under ice links volcanic heat, melting and downstream flood risk. The ash plume creates a different exposure pathway from the local flood.
