The eruption was followed by around 50 small earthquakes, the largest of which measured 3.7 on the Richter Scale, according to Iceland's meteorological office.
There was a similar eruption at the same volcano in 2004.
The Grimsvotn volcano is located underneath the Vatnajokull glacier in southeast Iceland.
