away from the eruption site, but it can also accumulate around the site. Increased accumulation leads to the reservoir becoming unstable and the release of a jökulhlaup. Jökulhlaups from Eyjafjallajökull in 2010 are an example of this
type of flood. In large eruptions, such as Katla eruptions underneath Mýrdalsjökull, ice melting can be very rapid and substantial in volume, resulting in large
