On 11.09.2012 at 10:24 UTC there was an deep earthquake in Eyjafjallajökull volcano. The magnitude of this earthquake was 0.8. It had the depth of 14.9 km. But that is among the deepest that happens in Eyjafjallajökull volcano. But before and during the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull volcano in the year 2010 the most depth of earthquake detected at that time was around 30 km.

I do not expect this earthquake to mean anything. This is just single earthquake that now happen from time to time in Eyjafjallajökull volcano. But after the eruption in the year 2010 there has almost been no earthquake activity in Eyjafjallajökull volcano.
Volcano ash from Eyjafjallajökull volcano
Even if there are now two years since the eruption in Eyjafjallajökull volcano the local area continues to have problems with volcano ash from it. In certain wind direction the volcano ash is blown up and carried out to the sea. This wind direction is mostly when wind is blowing from north and does not carry any snow or rain with it. So today and maybe in next few days. The local people that live in the area around Eyjafjallajökull volcano to live in ash cloud from the eruption two years ago.
I did try to find an MODIS picture of this volcano ash storm. But I did not have any luck doing so.

Just a Q: How long was Eyjafjalljokull erupting for in 2010 before any one knew….Would’nt it be cool if it started again..
Thank’s for the Update.
Shane.
It took Eyjafjallajökull volcano around 15 years until it started erupting in the year 2010. That is, magma pressure build up and such things.
I do not think it is going to start again any time soon. Currently the activity is almost none. There would be a lot of earthquakes before that would take place. It would be noticed by the SIL stations around Eyjafjallajökull volcano.
