Cool 2010 Iceland Volcano Pictures

Cool pictures and videos of the Eyjafjallajökull Norway volcano eruption in April 2010. It's caused problems with flights as ash from the volcanic eruption in Iceland moves south. It was the last wish of the Icelandic economy that its ashes be spread over Europe (sorry awful joke). It's a photographers dream to be out there at the moment as these cool photographs show....

Iceland Volcano Pictures (19th April 2010)

These latest cool pictures show amazing lightening strikes and hellish ash clouds from the Iceland Volcano as it continues to cause havok for travellers across Europe and now looking to hit East Coast of America in the next few days.

In this picture made available by the Icelandic Coastguard, taken Wednesday April 14, 2010, smoke and steam rises from the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland, which erupted for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, shooting smoke and steam into the air and forcing hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters. Authorities evacuated 800 residents from around the glacier as rivers rose by up to 10 feet (3 meters). Emergency officials and scientists said the eruption under the ice cap was 10 to 20 times more powerful than one last month, and carried a much greater risk of widespread flooding.

Video of 2010 Iceland Volcano



This next video was made by the Icelandic coast guard of the volcano eruption near Eyjafjallajökull glacier, in South Iceland. The eruption started shortly before midnight on Saturday 20th of March 2010.

The volcano eruption has sparked a travel tourist boom in Norway...if you can get there! Geologists are unsure how much longer the Iceland eruption might last. "I hope the eruption continues for a while, because it is very good for business," Ingi Thor Jakobsson, manager of the nearby Hotel Ranga.


Top Gear Toyota Hilux Volcano Pictures
Cool car pictures from Top Gear when they went up the Eyjafjallajökull in a Toyota Hilux. Little did they know the active volcano would cause so much European travel havoc. Luckily, the Top Gear cast and crew escaped just hours before the volcano erupted. Finally a bit of good PR for Toyota.As cool cars go, the Toyota Hilux remains truely one of the most resilient around!

By modifying the same Toyota Hilux they took to the north pole with water-cooled tires and a roof-mounted ash-guard, the Top Gear team just scaled an active Volcano in Iceland for an upcoming episode. "They never take risk!" said an Icelandic Volcano expert who traveled with the crew as an adviser.

Like all other episodes, this one appears to have been carefully planned, with full permission from the Icelandic government. In addition to volcanoes and a collapsed economy, Iceland is known for its ridiculously epic off-roading so we expect the episode to be insanely awesome and heroic.

It turns out Top Gear is taking partial responsibility for the blast:

According to local media, the shaggy-haired television presenter was witnessed driving a modified Hilux to the rim of the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano last week. Though initially assumed that he was simply filming a feature for the the popular motoring television show, it has since been speculated that May's purpose was far more devious. "It has been scientifically proven that TopGear is responsible for almost every evil in the modern world, so the eruption of a furious tectonic force barely a week after Richard Clarkson's ‘visit' can hardly be viewed as mere coincidence," says media commentator Annalisa Kneejerk.

Stig Volcano Qutoes

Some say that his helmet visor is made of volcanic ash, and that when he erupts every pilot in Europe has to leave the room.

Some say he can cause volcanos to erupt by looking at them.
