Fine Art Print : Volcanic ash of Eyjafjallajokull, Island
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Volcanic ash of Eyjafjallajokull, Island
Light micrograph of ash from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, Island. Volcanic ash consists of pulverised rock (particles with diameter smaller than 2mm up to 1my), minerals and volcanic glass. It is created during explosive eruptions by the shattering of large rocks and the separation of molten rock into tiny pieces. Horizontal object size: 5mm

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of volcanic ash from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland. Captured under a light microscope, this image reveals the intricate details of pulverized rock, minerals, and volcanic glass that make up this unique phenomenon. During explosive eruptions, large rocks are shattered into tiny pieces, resulting in the creation of volcanic ash. These minuscule particles, with diameters smaller than 2mm up to 1my (micrometers), float through the air and can travel vast distances. The horizontal object size depicted in this photograph measures approximately 5mm. The diverse colors seen within this micrograph reflect the composition of the ash itself. With elements such as iron, magnesium, silicon, and silica present, each particle tells a story about its geological origins. Volcanic ash is not only visually stunning but also plays a crucial role in understanding volcanic activity and its impact on our planet. By studying these microscopic fragments, scientists gain insights into magma behavior during eruptions and how it interacts with surrounding materials. Alfred Pasieka's expertly captured image serves as a reminder of nature's power and complexity. It invites us to appreciate both the destructive force unleashed by volcanoes and their ability to create breathtaking landscapes over time.
