| Abstract | It is important to have a complete history of the type and number of eruptions at a volcano to prepare for potential future volcanic eruptions. Askja volcano is a popular tourist destination in Iceland that has produced small lava flows and large explosive eruptions. No one has studied Askja’s pre-historic explosive eruptions in detail. The likelihood and timing of future explosive eruptions at Askja is not well known. This study will use field work to confirm the order of eruptions at Askja. Ro |
