Eyjafjallajökull volcano, subglacial volcano, southern Iceland, lying within the country’s East Volcanic Zone. Its name is derived from an Icelandic phrase meaning “the island’s mountain glacier,” and the volcano itself lies beneath Eyjafjallajökull (Eyjafjalla Glacier).
The eruption is thought to have begun on 20 March 2010, about 8 km (5 mi) east of the top crater of the volcano, on Fimmvörðuháls, the high neck between Eyjafjallajökull and the neighbouring icecap, Mýrdalsjökull.
Eyjafjallajökull is a startovolcano made of basalt and andesite lavas. The crater features three peaks named Guðnasteinn (1.500 meters), Hámundur (1.651 meters), and Goðasteinn (1.497 m). The magma chamber of Eyjafjallajökull rises from the tectonic divergence of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
