Eyjafjall
The central Volcan Eyjafjall (fjall = the Icelandic mountain) is located at the south of the Iceland in the west of the Glacier Mýrdalsjökull and in the south of the known valley of Þórsmörk. It has a 1666 m height and hides under the Glacier Eyjafjallajökull which has a surface of 78 km ².
The southern part of Eyjafjallajökull was formerly the coast Atlantique. But maintaining this one is at a distance of 5 km in the south of the glacier. The cliffs remained and, with them, much of cascades. The most powerful of them is the Skógafoss where water flows of cliff a 60 m height and 25 m broad. Water striking uninterrupted the bottom of the fall forms sometimes a fog decorated with rainbows.
The track of Trekking goes up since the fall towards the collar Fimmverðuháls between the two glaciers Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull to continue afterwards towards Þórsmörk and Landmannalaugar.
Lately, a higher seismographic activity was noted on the Fimmvörðuháls between the glaciers Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull. The great number of earthquakes could indicate an imminent volcanic eruption.
