El volcán Katla es uno de los volcanes más poderosos del sur de Islandia, localizado bajo el glaciar Mýrdalsjökull. Desde el año 930 se han documentado dieciséis erupciones del Katla, la última de las cuales tuvo lugar en 1918. Tiene una altura de 1.450 m y su caldera es de 10 km de diámetro.
Katla is one of the largest volcanoes in Iceland. It is situated to the north of Vík í Mýrdal and to the east of the smaller glacier Eyjafjallajökull . Its peak reaches 1,512 metres (4,961 ft) and is partially covered by the Mýrdalsjökull glacier.
La serie se basa en una amenaza real. Se ha detectado un aumento en la actividad sísmica alrededor del volcán Katla desde la erupción de Eyjafjallajökull en 2010, cuya ceniza cerró los cielos europeos al tráfico aéreo durante varios días, provocando enormes interrupciones de comerciales y de viajes.
Katla, subglacial volcano, southern Iceland, located underneath Mýrdalsjökull (Mýrdals Glacier). Katla’s summit sits at 4,961 feet (1,512 metres) above sea level, and its oval caldera is about 6 miles (10 km) across at its widest. Katla is one of Iceland’s most active volcanoes, having erupted at.
Katla volcano, located near the southern end of Iceland's eastern volcanic zone, is hidden beneath the Myrdalsjökull icecap. The subglacial basaltic-to-rhyolitic volcano is one of Iceland's most active and is a frequent producer of damaging jökulhlaups, or glacier-outburst floods.
Katla volcanic system is located in Mýrdalsjökull within the Eastern Volcanic Zone and it is about 80 km long and the central volcano rises up to 1500 m.a.s.l. with an ice filled 9x14 km caldera and active fissure swarm the extend to the northeast.
Katla is one of Iceland's most active and most dangerous volcanoes, infamous for its large eruptions happening on average every 50-100 year, causing devastating glacial floods (jökullhlaups). In recent year, increased seismicity and inflation of Katla has been being measured.
Katla volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in Iceland and is underneath Mýrdalsjökull glacier. The caldera of Katla is about 100 km 2 but the volcanic system of Katla is much larger, or about 110 km long and 30 km in width, extending to the north-east in the direction of Vatnajökull glacier. Katla has erupted at least 20 times since ...

The central volcano, also called Katla, is located under the Mýrdalsjökull ice-cap but its ice-thickness goes up to 700 m. The associated fissure swarm reaches ~70 km NE towards Vatnajökull. The Katla volcanic system is the fourth most active system in Iceland and has erupted at least 21 times during the last 1100 years.
