There are now clear indications that the Eyjafjallajokull volcanic eruption in South Iceland is about to stop.

Iceland volcano

Volcanic activity in the area has decreased rapidly over the last day. The journalist, environmentalist and aviator, Omar Ragnarsson flew over the volcano this morning and saw no ash production at all, according to Visir.is.

Volcanologists at the Icelandic Met Office say that a small upsurge occurred at around midday yesterday, but say volcanic activity has been decreasing ever since. It is, however, not yet possible to say that the eruption is definitely stopping. Scientists are on their way to the volcano this afternoon to investigate.

Omar Ragnarsson said: “We went with two well-known foreign photographers and went all the way along Gigjokull and up to 2,100 metres and down again. It was not possible to see any ash coming up, only steam.” He added that ash production could of course start up again at any time.
