Katla volcano is nearly 1,450m high, with nearly 10 square kilometers of snow and ice covering the crater.

According to The Independent, also on August 29, Iceland's largest volcano had more than 10 minor shocks, the giant volcano on the southern coast of Iceland has a height of up to 1,450 meters from the sea. . There is still no information on human damage and wealth.

The two most recent eruptions of Katla volcano were in 1955 and 1999. Both times were not enough to break the snow ice over 10km 2 covered the crater. The most recent eruption with destructive power large enough to break the ice was in 1918. Dust ash from Katla erupted continuously for five weeks.

In 2010, Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcanic eruption canceled more than 100,000 flights across Europe. The aviation experts at the time feared that glass crystals formed from lava could melt inside the aircraft engine, causing the turbines in the engine to stop working.

In courtesy, the Eyjafjallajokull volcano often erupts only 1-2 years before the peak of Katla mountain "rages".
