The 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland lasted for approximately six weeks, from mid-April to late May. The eruption consisted of two phases, with the first phase starting on April 14 and the second phase occurring around May 8. The ash cloud produced significantly disrupted air travel across Europe during this period.

It can be called an active, dormant or extinct volcano. An active volcano erupts regularly and frequently, however, it might not erupt at some times. A dormant volcano rarely erupts. Therefore, it does not erupt for most of the time. An extinct volcano does not erupt anymore.

A volcano that is quiet for a long time but may erupt again is known as a dormant volcano. Dormant volcanoes are inactive for a significant period of time but still have the potential to become active and erupt in the future.
Eyjafjallajökull, a volcano in Iceland, had been dormant for about 190 years before it erupted in 2010.
The volcano is said to be extinct if it hasn't erupted for at least 10,000 years.
The Iceland ash cloud from the Eyjafjallajökull volcano eruption in 2010 lasted for about a week, causing widespread disruption to air travel in Europe.
