Once a sleeping giant on Iceland's southern coast, the ancient volcano of Eyjafjallajokull erupted in 2010, resulting in the temporary shutdown of air-traffic to and from Iceland due to the influx of ash in the air. Also a glacier, the volcano's surface is covered by an ice cap that feeds into various smaller, outlet glaciers around it. The ocean has steadily retreated from the south side of the mountain, which once rested on the edge of the Atlantic ocean, expanding the cliffs around it to form a variety of waterfalls, such as Skogafoss.
