An eruption started last night, 14 April 2010, underneath Eyjafjallajokull, S-Iceland.
The recent activity at Fimmvorduhals, short distance to the east of this eruption, was declared finished just yesterday !
Although clouds are persistent, the large steam cloud from the eruption is visible from satellite images, as well as the temperature difference of the steam cloud.
This brightness temperature difference picture was taken at 12:45 on 14 April 2010. The steam is clearly visible, white plume from the south part of Iceland.
This emission picture was taken at 12:45 on 14 April 2010.
This true-color picture at 12:45 on 14 April 2010.

False color image. 
Another false color image.
Flooding, due to all the melt water formed when the glacier melts, called jökulhlaup has already occurred. Probably also already reached maximum.
Previous eruptions there have lasted up to 18 months.
