The most disruptive in recent times was the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, which spewed huge clouds of ash into the atmosphere and led to widespread airspace closures over Europe.

The volcano erupted again in May 2010, causing the closure of airspace over many parts of Europe. [27] The eruptions also created electrical storms. [28] The London Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre declared the eruption to have stopped on the 23rd of May 2010, but stated that they were continuing to monitor the volcano. [29]
See "Askja index" Askja 1875 - Ashfall drift from one of the largest ash eruptions in Icelandic history. Eruption from Víti and other craters began on 28 March and lasted for about eight hours. Heavy ash damage in the middle of East Iceland caused farms to be deserted, and East Fjord people moved to the West.
A recent study has shown that the electrical conductivity of volcanic ash increases with (1) increasing moisture content, (2) increasing soluble salt content, and (3) increasing compaction (bulk density). [23] The ability of volcanic ash to conduct electric current has significant implications for electric power supply systems.

The Eyjafjallajökull volcano can cause jökulhlaups. The 2010 eruption caused a jökulhlaup with a peak flow of about 2,000 to 3,000 m 3 /s (71,000 to 106,000 cu ft/s). [15] [16] Work in Iceland has categorised jökulhlaups by origin and size. The categories of origin are: [17]: 2 [18]
