About Eyjafjallajokull, Iceland
Eyjafjallajökull (Icelandic: [ˈeiːjaˌfjatl̥aˌjœːkʏtl̥] ; "glacier of (the mountain) Eyjafjöll"), sometimes referred to by the numeronym E15, is one of the smaller ice caps of Iceland, north of Skógar and west of Mýrdalsjökull. The ice cap covers the caldera of a volcano with a summit elevation of 1,651 metres (5,417 ft). The volcano has erupted relatively frequently since the Last Glacial Period, most recently in 2010, when, although relatively small for a volcanic eruption, it caused enormous disruption to air travel across northern and western Europe for a week.

Questions about Eyjafjallajokull, Iceland
Where is Eyjafjallajokull?
Eyjafjallajokull is in Iceland at 63.6314, -19.6083. The model covers a 20 by 20 kilometer square around that point.
How high is the terrain in the Eyjafjallajokull model?
The land in this model runs from 0 to 1,588 m (1,587 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed 1.5 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
Can I 3D print Eyjafjallajokull?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 22.9 mm tall, on a solid 5 mm base, at a scale of about 1:133,300. It also works for CNC carving. Use Customize to change the width, base thickness or height exaggeration, make it round or add a name plate.
How accurate is the Eyjafjallajokull model?
It is built from real elevation measurements, not an artist's guess: open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point. The shaded picture on this page is made from the same data.
Is the Eyjafjallajokull model free?
The Standard resolution model is free as STL, 3MF, Colored 3MF, OBJ and a 16-bit heightmap. High resolution samples the place about ten times more finely and is a paid upgrade.
What is a Eyjafjallajokull terrain model good for?
People use it as a geology lesson you can hold, a classroom model or a desk piece.
About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Eyjafjallajokull, Iceland from real measured elevation, not an artist's guess. Outside the United States the heights come from open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point.
The model covers a 20 by 20 kilometer square centered on 63.6314, -19.6083. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:133,300. The heights are exaggerated 1.5× so the shape is easy to see and feel; you can change that when you customize the model. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base.
