New video on Eyjafjallajökull

I have been doing a video on the tours Mountain Climbing has been doing to the glacier/volcano Eyjafjallajökull on the southern coast of Iceland. This is where the floods came from during the eruption last spring.
The glacier is much bigger than you see in this video. This part of the glacier has its origins in the crater so there was a direct flood from the crater, magma melting the ice and the meltwater coming down during the eruption in April.
There used to be a lagoon in front of the glacier but it has disappeared, full with mud from the floods.
