[edit]Fimmv�r�uh�ls eruptions in March - April 2010
[edit]The first series of eruptions started in March 2010 and went on for about 3 weeks. The effusive eruptions on the mountain pass Fimmv�r�uh�ls originated in volcanic fissures which are part of the Eyjafjallaj�kull volcanic system.

Eyjafjallaj�kull subglacial eruptions in April - June 2010
[edit]The second series of eruptions started subglacially under Eyjafjallaj�kull himself the 14th of April 2010 and went on til the end of June. They were explosive, producing very fine grained tephra of a trachyandesite type which caused important disruptions of European airtravel during the next weeks and months.
