The '''Eyjafjallajökull'''
is a [[volcano]] in the South of [[Iceland]] which became known world-wide when it [[volcanic eruption|erupted]] in March-April 2010,  causing its [[glacier]]s to melt, while producing a giant [[ash cloud]] that reached up into the [[stratosphere]] and blocked the [[air traffic]] in most of [[Europe]] for about one week; major previous eruptions took place in 920, 1612 and 1821-1823, each time followed by eruptions of the neighbouring [[Katla]] volcano, which is also subglacial.

The Eyjafjallajökull is a volcano in the South of Iceland which became known world-wide when it erupted in March-April 2010, causing its glaciers to melt, while producing a giant ash cloud that reached up into the stratosphere and blocked the air traffic in most of Europe for about one week; major previous eruptions took place in 920, 1612 and 1821-1823, each time followed by eruptions of the neighbouring Katla volcano, which is also subglacial.
