caused accidents and extensive material damage through the centuries since the settlement of
Iceland 1100 years ago. The most devastating accidents have been caused by snow avalanches
but landslides have also killed people and caused widespread damage and disruption to society. A
catastrophic snow avalanche from the mountain Bjólfur in 1885 hit the northern part of the town,
killing 24 people

Increased usage of IMO's web-site
The graphs below (from Webalizer) show the usage of IMO's web-site every month from January 2010 into April 2011 (fifteen months later). Due to the eruption, the spring 2010 was exceptional.

Overview of the information in the CES project.
Proceedings from the final conference in 2010 will be
published. The aim is to get as many stakeholders as
possible to contribute to the final conference in Oslo
2010. This will be done through the network of the
national Groups.
The working groups are responsible for the flyers

deep below Eyjafjallajökull and latest GPS-observations suggest inflation. So far, GPS-
signals are not large. There are no signs that the eruption is about to end.

Conditions at eruption site:
The eruption site was seen clearly during today's overflight. Eruptive activity in the northern ice
cauldron remains similar to conditions during the preceding four days. A volcanic crater has
formed in the south-western corner of the cauldron. Erupted material from the vent continues to
accumulate on the flanks of the crater. The rim of the volcanic

Landslides and rock falls can occur
following large earthquakes, most likely in areas with unstable slopes, steep
