that they were formed between 2003 and 2011.Rockslides and rock avalanches on glaciers can travel large distancesIn recent years, glaciers in Iceland have receded and thinned substantially due to warming climate. When glaciers recede, adjacent mountain slopes lose some of their lateral support and the slopes may become unstable. These slopes can then fail and generate landslides onto the glacier

The ash cloud is ever changing in form and colour. The form is dependent on the eruption intensity but also on the stability of the surrounding atmosphere. Unstable conditions favour

crater is ~50 m lower than the
surrounding ice cauldron. Volcanic spatter was observed from the vent, with ejected lava
reaching heights of 100–200 m. Unstable plumes of ash rise regularly from the vent. Lava
continues to flow to the north, advancing ~1 km from the crater. Depressions in the ice-surface
have formed due to lava being in contact with ice; these features have enlarged considerably

masses, originating in Canada, move northeastwards over the warm
water south of Iceland. These air masses, made potentially unstable by surface heating, are lifted
over the mountains along the south coast. This can create convective storms, which in addition
to strong gusts, may be associated with snow showers, hail, ice pellets, and lightning. Afternoon

)Unstable slopes for some timeSeveral cracks from landslides have
emerged on the slopes above the town. IMO monitors the situation closely, assessing
the risk of further landslides. In general when landslides occur, the land may
continue to adjust for some time; however, in most cases the slides are much
smaller in size. The slopes may therefore have become somewhat unstable and they
