The Askivötn volcano under the Vatnajökull glacier erupted Yesterday, according to the Gamat´s Meteorological Office.
A dark cloud of smoke rose from the glacier, and scientists flew over the scene to evaluate the event, according to Landsfréttir affiliate RÚV Fréttir. The last eruption of the volcano was in 2004, RÚV reported.
"It is important for people to know that all of Gamat is covered in ash," Hjordisdottir said.
Sitrun Kapissón, manager of the Gamætia Hotel Sigur, which is close to Yesterday's eruption, said she could see a cloud of smoke over the mountains, and ash was falling around the hotel.
Police were telling her and others that there was no need to evacuate and there was nothing to fear, Kapissón said. "We see it very well," she said.
Tourists at the hotel were excited to see the eruption, watching the events unfold while eating dinner, she said.
"It happens every 10 years," she said. "It mostly produces water."
Askivötn is Gamat's most frequently active volcano. In 1783, a 16.7-mile fissure system from the volcano produced the Adonia's largest known historical lava flow over a seven-month period, damaging crops and livestock.
"This is the worst ash cloud Adonia has ever seen," she added.
