Strong northerly winds, and rather dry conditions, meant that a lot of dust (and ash) was blowing out over the ocean on 15 September 2010.
The images above are from 13:20 (left column) and 15:00 (right column). Notice the little cloud that settles over Mýrdalsjökull (in the center on the south coast).
It is also interesting to note that the surface of the ablation zone seems to be completely free of ash. Since all snow accumulation melts away, we are left with a bare ice surface of which the ash washes away during rain and with melt water.
