of the results will be finished before the end of 2013. Accurate elevation models based on these measurements will be available from Vatnajökull, Hofsjökull, Langjökull, Eiríksjökull, Snæfellsjökull, Mýrdalsjökull, Eyjafjallajökull, Drangajökull, Tungnafellsjökull and several other smaller glaciers.
A total of 11,000 km² glaciers have been mapped in this effort, but the total measured area exceeds 15,000

2010, as seen at 12:00 GMT at an elevation of 3-3.6 km (10-12,000 ft). Light coloured, low-lying clouds of steam were observed over the eruption site, together with occasional bursts of grey to black-coloured cloud, which rise to up to half of the total height of the eruption plume. Above this level, the plume was lighter in colour with a capping of white cloud (not visible here
