Ash and Lightning above an Icelandic Volcano

Why did a picturesque volcanic eruption in Iceland do loads ash? Despite the truth that the huge ash plume turn out to be once no longer unparalleled in its abundance, its do turn out to be once in particular noticeable because of it drifted across such successfully-populated areas. The Eyjafjallajökull volcano in southern Iceland began erupting on 2010 March 20, with a 2nd eruption initiating below the guts of a small glacier on 2010 April 14. Neither eruption turn out to be once unusually grand. The 2nd eruption, nonetheless, melted a huge amount of glacial ice which then cooled and fragmented lava into gritty glass particles that were carried up with the rising volcanic plume.
