Going to see the volcano in March we took a picture of the information sign. To show where every thing was located, I marked the main points of interest on the photo. Red for the erruption of Fimvörduháls, blue for the icy glacier that will later on - just short time after our trip there - will become "that volcano in Iceland" that stopped air trafic forever.
The green marker above these spots is where we parked to watch the erruption and took these pictures and videos. After the Eyjafjallajökull errupted that valley was not visible anymore but turned into the run off for the melt water.

On the drive to the volcano we saw the drastic demonstrations of accident risks.
drastic! |
valley of Thorsmörk |
Amazing view of Eyjafjallajökull from the valley side - when it was still a glacier and all calm.
