Iceland Volcano Eruption: Grimsvotn Photos, Video, May 21, 2011

A Grimsvotn Volcano Eruption Under the Vatnajokull Glacier in Iceland Occurred on May 21, 2011

Iceland's Grimsvotn volcano erupted on May 21, 2011 in southeast Iceland.

The Grimsvotn volcano eruption reportedly shot plumes 18,000 feet into the air.

After the Grimsvotn volcano eruption, a string of about 50 small earthquakes occurred. The largest Iceland earthquake registered 3.7 on the Richter scale.

The Grimsvotn volcano is located underneath the Vatnajokull glacier. Grimsvotn is considered to be the most active volcano in Iceland: eruptions occurred 1993, 1995, 1998 and 2004.

On March 20, 2010, Iceland had a volcano eruption near the Eyjafjallajokull glacier, forcing the cancellations of flights across Europe.

Some will no doubt note that the Iceland volcano eruption took place on May 21, 2011, the day that some believe the Rapture will occur.

Here is a Iceland Grimsvotn Volcano Photo. We will post video as it becomes available.
