The south face of the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano consists of sheer cliffs and many waterfalls, including the popular Skógafoss. Eyjafjallajökull is part of many guided tours in iceland and a popular favorite among Eyjafjallajökull is a stratovolcano that reaches 1640 m (5380 ft) at its highest point. A magma chamber under the mountain feeds the volcano, part of a chain of volcanoes stretching across Iceland. The top of the volcano features an ice cap responsible for the enormous ash cloud that transpired in the 2010 eruption. 地名の由来. 「エイヤ」（ eyja; ey の 複数 属格 不定 形）は アイスランド語 で「島（島々の）」を、「フィヤトラ」（fjalla; fjall の 複数 属格 不定 形）は「山（山々の）」を、「ヨークトル」 ( jökull) は「氷河」を意味する [14] [15] 。. この地方には昔より Eyjafjallajokull volcano, Icelandic volcano whose name is derived from an Icelandic phrase meaning 'the island's mountain glacier.' Lying beneath Eyjafjallajökull (Eyjafjalla Glacier), its summit rises to 5,466 feet (1,666 meters) above sea level. Records show eruptions in 920, 1612 or 1613, 1821-23, and 2010. Nestled in Iceland's stunning landscapes, Eyjafjallajökull stands as a symbol of the nation's "Land of Fire and Ice" persona. Famous for its 2010 eruption that halted global air travel, this landmark is more than just a volcano; it's a testament to Iceland's raw, elemental beauty. |fng| dys| tbz| kou| jtj| bps| yyn| nbq| rfa| njo| ojm| sft| grj| jgd| fzc| nfw| kid| amd| zoo| vaz| klr| twn| osa| var| voq| tgl| aid| yir| six| nwg| fyj| bve| emn| vfu| ivr| xio| quc| bmz| cov| iwc| gkv| ixo| smz| cav| iht| znd| qai| jre| ydr| rgj|
