Volcanic Eruption in Grímsvötn, Vatnajökull, Iceland

Volcanic Eruption in Grímsvötn by Jon Gustafsson

Iceland's most active volcano, Grímsvötn, erupted on Saturday for the first time since 2004, hurling a plume of steam and ash nearly 20 kilometers (12 miles) into the sky. People living next to the glacier where the Grímsvötn volcano burst into life were most severely affected, with ash blocking out the daylight and smothering buildings and vehicles.
