The volcanic landscape is now safe and open for visitors who wish to see the dramatic changes that were created as a result of the eruption and the massive ash cloud. “These include the spectacular Gigjökull Glacier Fall, which formed from Eyjafallajökull’s melted ice cap and the striking black and white glaciers,” said Iceland’s tourism office.
Visitors of the museum can also travel to the eruption site, laying 700 metres above sea level, and will be rewarded with a fantastic panoramic view over volcano tops and the Atlantic Ocean.
Another new Visitor Centre opens on April 14 (the anniversary of the Eyjafallajökull eruption) on a farm that is located at the base of the volcano in question. The centre has been built by the family who live at the farm to show what daily life is like for them, they have included various films and other artefacts in the collection. At the end of their visit, guests can purchase books, souvenirs and T-shirts as a memory.
