Icelandic eruptions
Icelandic eruptions are volcanic events that occur in Iceland, a country known for its unique geological activity. The island sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, leading to frequent volcanic activity. These eruptions can produce lava flows, ash clouds, and even explosive eruptions, impacting both the environment and air travel.
One of the most notable eruptions in recent history was the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, which caused widespread air travel disruptions across Europe. Icelandic eruptions are closely monitored by the Icelandic Meteorological Office to ensure public safety and to study the effects of volcanic activity on the climate and landscape.
