This was 10–20 times the average discharge rate in the preceding flank eruption at Fimmvörðuháls. (First eruption on 20 March 2010). [59] The IES updated the eruption flow rate on 21 April 2010 to an estimation less than 30 cubic metres per second (1,100 cu ft/s) of magma, or 75 t/s, with a large uncertainty.
The volcano released approximately 150,000 tonnes of CO 2 each day, or approximately 4.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide by 19 April 2010. The massive reduction of air travel occurring over European skies caused by the ash cloud, saved an estimated 1.3 to 2.8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere by 19 April 2010.

The eruption on 27 March 2010 The crater three years post eruption in March 2013 Eyjafjallajökull seen from the sea in summer 2014. On 14 April 2010 Eyjafjallajökull resumed erupting after a brief pause, this time from the top crater in the centre of the glacier, causing jökulhlaup ( meltwater floods) to rush down the nearby rivers, and ...
The most disruptive in recent times was the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, which spewed huge clouds of ash into the atmosphere and grounded flights across Europe for days because ...
The International Air Transport Association estimates that the prolonged shutdown of flights around Europe and across the Atlantic when the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland erupted in April was ...
In 2010, the volcano Eyjafjallajokull erupted and launched a cloud of ash 30,000 feet high that snarled air traffic across Europe for most of a week. A damaging earthquake struck the peninsula in ...
In response to concerns that volcanic ash ejected during the 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland would damage aircraft engines, [2] the controlled airspace of many European countries was closed to instrument flight rules traffic, resulting in what at the time was the largest air-traffic shut-down since World War II.
