 Approaching the eruption site over the icecap. |  Ash-covered icecap, crater and collpased meltwater channel (lower right). |  Magmatic activity becomes visible between steam and ash clouds. |  Powerful Strombolian eruptions from a vent in the crater floor. |
 Massive lava clots are expelled by the explosions. |  A curtain of incadescent scoria in front of steam cloud. |  Ejected lava clots and billowing ash cloud. |  Dante's inferno: a close-up view into Eyjafjallajökull's crater. |
 Meltwater tunnel and channel on the left, helicopter on the right. |  The helicopter gives the scale of one of the meltwater channels. |  Collapse structures along the meltwater channel. |  Looking into the meltwater channel through which the lahar flowed. |
 Looking down Gigjökull (the tongue is at the top). |  Strombolian eruptions and drifting ash plume from Eyjafjallajökull. |  Eyjafjallajökull stratovolcano complex; note sandur plain in foreground. |  Tele-photo view of the Strombolian eruptions at the summit of Eyjafjallajökull. |
