The 2011 eruption of a 20-km-high volcanic plume from Grímsvötn Volcano, Iceland, led to the closure of northern European airspace. Geodetic measurements from the volcano reveal a correlation between plume height, surface deformation and magma-chamber pressure, with a delay of an hour, implying that volcanic-plume behaviour can be predicted before eruption onset.
