Eyjafjallajökull (pronounced [ˈeːɪjaˌfjatl̥aˌjœːkʏtl̥] ; Icelandic for Island mountain glacier) is one of the smaller ice caps of Iceland situated to the north of Skógar and to the west of Mýrdalsjökull. The ice cap covers the caldera of a volcano with a summit elevation of 1651 metres (5417 ft). The volcano has erupted relatively frequently since the last glacial period most recently in 2010.
