The director general of IMO, Árni Snorrason, also gave a speech about the institute's great strength as a monitoring and research institute.

:00 hrs. Tremors had began at 17:30. This eruption was powerful for the first 24 hrs. In the early hours of 22nd May the ash plume reached 15-19 km height. The eruption was over 25th May. This photo is taken 22nd May at 10:20, showing reduced visibility due to great quantities of ash in the air. It is assumed that as much ash was released into the air during the first 24 hours of this eruption

methods relying on the raw superposition of drawings, the use of grid allows the constitution of
choropleth maps where spatial representations are adjusted for a great variety of predictors and

Notes
Scientists in Holuhraun confirm that the volcanic eruption continues with similar intensity as last few days. The lava

Colour: Brown- or grayish and sometimes black close to the eruption site.
Tephra fallout: The amount of fallout is great from Vík in the west to the east of
Öræfajökull. The amount of ash fall is the greatest close to the village
Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Ash has been detected in several areas throughout
the country, except

Warning
Violent storm or hurricane-force winds are expected throughout most of the country tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening. The magnitude of the approaching storm is so great that such conditions occur
