Iceland Volcanic Eruption Latest Updates: Smaller eruptions in Iceland is now the attention of researchers. Colossal eruption in 1783 that spewed lava and clouds of ash eight months is feared could happen again.
Scientists rank volcano volcanic explosion index (VEI) from zero to eight. Measurement is based on how much material being thrown from a volcano, how high the eruption and how long it lasts. Like an earthquake measuring scale, VEI is logarithmic, which means mountain of fire with the number five is 10 times more powerful than the size of four.
Until now, scientists have not managed to collect enough data to calculate the VEI of Eyjafjoll who had just broken out. But Thorvaldur Thordarson, Iceland eruption expert at the University of Edinburgh estimated strength of two or three similar VEI eruptions of Mount Etna in Sicily in 2002 and 2003. The eruption of that size could happen on earth at least once every year.
