The plane also flew along the western side of Eyjafjallajökull but several flash floods have exited from the Gígjökull outlet glacier since the start of the eruption.
The above photo shows the outlet glacier, which is dark at the top due to mud from the flash floods. At the base the glacier flows to the right of a large cracked rock

of the ash cloud and the lower part of
Eyjafjallajökull could be seen from the aircraft, the rest was in clouds.
The top of the ash cloud was at ~ 5 km / 17.000 ft. No great changes
seen in Gígjökull.
Seismic tremor: Similar to previous days.
Earthquakes: At around 1600h 4 earthquakes were measured beneath
Eyjafjallajökull, all of them were located at shallow depth.

Eruption plume:
Height (a.s.l.): Clouds have covered the top of the mountain this morning and
therefore the plume has not been seen on web-cameras. Light wind

: A slight increase was observed on Monday evening in the frequency
range 1-2 Hz. The increase in the 0,5-1 Hz range today is probably due
the weather.
Earthquakes: A few small, shallow earthquakes have been recorded beneath the top
crater in the last few days.
GPS deformation: Slow and continuous deformation towards the volcano in the last two
weeks.
Overall assessment: A small increase
