The Mýrdalsjökull glacier is Eyjafjallajökull glacier's bigger brother, both in terms of size of the glacier and also in terms of capability and size of its eruptions. Under the bigger brother lies the powerful and dangerous Katla caldera.
It erupts every 60-80 years.
It's been more than 90 years since its last eruption so it will likely go off in the near future, especially after its smaller brother has woken up, which historically has always triggered the bigger brother to then show its dominance.
