The volcano’s July cap melted to form a new ice cauldron F2 km wide and 50 m eruption had ended just two months before this new one started. deep. Ten new ice cauldrons appeared during the next month This latest eruption’s onset was rapid; observers saw a 10-m-diam- along the caldera’s borders, features interpreted as responses to a eter, F50-m-high lava fountain. Immediately after that, a fissure shallow intrusion or a small subglacial eruption. One of Iceland’s formed followed by small lava fountains and a lava flow. Less most active volcanoes, Katla has frequently generated damaging than 5
