		The Askja lake is bounded in the south and east by precipitous hyaloclastite cliffs and to the north and west by cliffs cutting the lavas that cover the bottom of the Askja caldera.
		Beneath Askja the basaltic intrusions were quenched by a large ground water body confined within the structural boundaries of the caldera with a resulting increase in geothermal activity as observed already in the beginning of 1874.

	Global Volcanism Program \| Askja \| Summary
		Askja is a large basaltic central volcano that forms the DyngjufjÃ¶ll massif.
		It is truncated by three overlapping calderas, the largest of which is 8 km wide and may have been produced primarily from subglacial ring-fracture eruptions rather than by subsidence.
		The 100-km-long Askja fissure swarm, which includes the Sveinagja graben, is also related to the Askja volcanic system, as are several small shield volcanoes such as Kollatadyngja.

		Ground tilt measurements demonstrate that Askja is in a state of unrest, and that in the period 1988 - 1991 a maximum 48 +/- 3 µrad tilt occurred down towards the centre of the caldera.
		This is consistent with 126 mm of deflation at the centre of the caldera with a 2.5 - 3.0 km depth to the source of deformation.

		In addition, we systematically compared the Pinatubo fallout deposit with the unambiguously plinian 1875 Askja ashfall (Iceland) and with an integrated grain-size dataset of 600 pyroclastic deposits from many eruptive styles (plinian, subplinian, strombolian) and representing the main types of pyroclastic activity (surge, flow, fall and co-ignimbrite fall).
		Using this approach, we demonstrate that the Pinatubo ashcloud deposit is unusually rich in breathable fine ash (less than 10 micrometers, PM10), from 5-11 wt\% of PM10 in Mt. Pinatubo vicinity up to 26 wt\% beyond 300km from the vent.
		Furthermore, the variations of metric-mean, metric-sorting and SSA versus distance differ considerably for the Askja and the Pinatubo fall deposits.
