The 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull produced a large ash cloud, which is dangerous to aircraft. It can damage aircraft windshields and engines, especially jet engines. Ash that enters a jet engine melts in the intense heat and resolidifies within the engine as glass, which can cause a stall.
Eyjafjallajokull is a volcano that recently spewed out ash, particles, and lava. The volcano is on Iceland.
Eyjafjallajokull is in Iceland near the southern coast.
