A
fissure vent in the
Fimmvörðuháls region of southern Iceland, caused by the
2010 eruption of
Eyjafjallajökull. The eruption opened the 0.5 km (0.31 mi) long fissure on March 20, 2010, and a second eruption a week later opened a second fissure, as well as two
craters, which were named
Móði and Magni, after the sons of
Thor, the
Norse god of thunder.Photo:
