	Hekla, Iceland
		Hekla is the most active volcano in Iceland with eruption events numbering from as low as 15 major eruptions to the huge number of 167 since 1104, the most recent being in 1991.
		Hekla's structure and volcanic activity is typical of Iceland's fissure volcanoes in that it is built up by successive lava flows and explosive ash-forming events.
		Hekla is located in the southern part of Iceland about 70 miles (110 km) east of Reykjavik and 35 miles (55 km) inland from the southern coastline.

		Hekla erupts a magma type that is unique for Iceland, intermediate between highly silicic and andesitic composition.
		Since the Middle Ages, Hekla's has been one of the most active volcanoes of the world, with recorded major eruptions in 1104, 1158, 1206, 1222, 1300, 1341, 1389, 1510, 1597, 1636, 1693, 1766, 1845, 1947, 1970, 1980, 1991 and 2000.

		The compositional evolution of the Hekla magma system is roughly a linear function of the length of the repose periods between eruptions.
		The length of the preceding repose period is positively related to the volume and initial silica concentration of the lava and tephra and the explosivity and effusion rate of early phase of the eruption.
