Öræfajökull (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈœːrˌaiːvaˌjœːkʏtl̥] ⓘ; 'Öræfi glacier' or 'wasteland glacier') is an ice-covered volcano in south-east Iceland. The largest active volcano and the highest peak in Iceland at 2,110 metres (6,920 ft), it lies within the Vatnajökull National Park and is covered by part of the glacier.
The eruption area is shaded in violet, and twenty-first century glacier surface catchments are shaded steel blue. Jökulhlaup catchments are different as they depend on subsurface features and prior to the eruption in 1918 glacier cover was larger than shown.

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 ...

Raikoke emits a plume of ash and volcanic gases in the 2019 eruption. At approximately 4:03 am, 22 June 2019 it erupted, with a plume of ash and gas reaching between 13,000 m (43,000 ft) and 17,000 m (56,000 ft), passing the tropopause and allowing stratospheric injection of ash and sulfur dioxide.
Puʻu ʻŌʻō (also spelled Pu‘u‘ō‘ō, and often written Puu Oo, pronounced [ˈpuʔu ˈʔoːʔoː], poo-oo-OH-oh) is a volcanic cone on the eastern rift zone of Kīlauea volcano in the Hawaiian Islands.
The eruption was initially a row of fissures, but has since then been confined to 1 crater. As of 25 April 2024, land uplift resumed after almost grinding to a complete halt at the start on the March 16 eruption. The eruption finished on the 9th of May. [19] In the interlude between the March 16 and May 29 eruptions, land uplift occurred.
