Iceland, especially concerning geoscience. Upon his retirement, he decided to transfer various scientific resources to Iceland for further use. It was the task of the Icelandic Meteorological Office to receive and process the shipment, which weighs just under one and a half tons.The Icelandic Meteorological Office will go through the well-organized material and forward it to other institutions what

estimate of the landslide volume has been made based on a comparison between the
new DEM and an older DEM from before the landslide. The results indicate that
about 7 million m3 of material is “missing” from the source area
which might be the approximate volume of material that was released initially
when the slide

thickness is 10-12 meters and estimated volume of eruptive material 22-24 million cubic meters (only one fifth of Hekla 2000).
Accordingly, the average flow rate has been approximately 15 cubic meters per second since the eruption began. The eruptive cone stands 82 m above previous ground level and the highest peak is 1067 m a.s.l.

December was very stormy and recurrent fierce wind-storms caused some material damages
and interrupted air and land communication on several occasions.
Except for a two-week period in January, the snow cover in 2007 was very light compared to
the long-term mean (1961-1990).

infrastructure. Due to the flank instability of volcanic edifices, landslides, or flank collapses, at active
volcanoes can trigger major eruptions or produce tsunami waves when the material enters open or
enclosed water bodies.

of the slide is concave. The volume of the slide is roughly estimated 30–50 million m3,
however, the estimation may change when further measurements and analyses have been
carried out, especially on the part that is in the lake and regarding the depth of the sliding
surface. If the bottom of the slide reaches below the lake bottom, the total volume of material/media/ofanflod/myndasafn/frodleikur/askja_minnisblad_ens.pdf
