The subglacial eruption of Katla Volcano in 1918 generated a catastrophic glacier outburst flood or jökulhlaup that transformed the landscape. The flat and featureless expression of the present day surface belies a violent past, which can be reconstructed from historical topographic data and the subsurface sedimentology. Using our information from the 1918 event we evaluate historical landscape change and test the approach used by planetary scientists to reconstruct fan formation timescales on Mars.
