The eruption ends

The main crater in Eyjafjallajökull a few months after the eruption with steam still rising from the eruption site and the broken glacier all around. The photograph was taken on September 16, 2010, by Guðný Valberg, a farmer on Þorvaldseyri farm, during a helicopter flight over the eruption site. Four months had passed since the eruption ended, but the end of the eruption was not declared until October 28.
