*The earthquake swarm in Iceland has already reached 9,000

*The earthquakes might have been caused by geothermal production

*The earthquake swarm could be related to Iceland's most active volcano

When the volcano goes, it will block the air routes to the UK, and cause global cooling all over the world...

Send for Greta!

There aren’t many flights in Europe to ground...and people are already wearing masks...so no big deal.

Gee, ya think? Iceland IS a volvano! Deployed there in the ‘80s and seemed like we had a noticeable quake at least once a day.

One a day is a lot less than 9,000 in less than 2 weeks.

Just saying..

Why do they call it “mysterious”?

Just because the science of predicting earthquakes is in its infancy?

Iceland sits smack in the middle between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate, right at the north end of the Mid-Atlantic ridge in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

There is a spot in/on Iceland where you can stand with one foot in Europe and one foot in North America. The active seismic forces at such a spot as Iceland must be naturally very great, not mysterious.

There are about 130 volcanoes in Iceland, active and inactive. Thirty active volcanic systems can be found under the island.

That there could be swarms of earthquakes on Iceland is not a mystery no matter how often or rarely such swarms occur.

Iceland is a volcano

It's much worse than that. Iceland sits on top of a "hot spot," volcanic plume similar to the one that powers Yellowstone. It's also directly on top of the boundary of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. When it comes to scary real estate, Iceland would be the last place on Earth where I'd consider living.

I hear you.
If it bleeds it leads. I thought 9,000 in less than two weeks in an astounding number. I’ve never lived in an active seismic area however. YMMV.

There’s been a lot if quakes here in eastern California lately. And the full moon is coming. I know that scientists say there is no connection between the full or new moon and earthquakes but....

They should have sold to Trump when they had the chance. The price is lower now. And if the volcano adds land we get more acreage.

Is it possible that one of Iceland’s many active volcanoes is about to erupt? The one that everyone has to monitor closely is Katla, a volcano capable of a VEI 5 eruption. That big of an eruption could cause much colder than normal winters in the Northern Hemispehre.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

Iceland. Lots of eugenicists there. And people who claim to believe in fairies.

... Beat me to it.

Actually, Iceland is a volcano on top of a bunch of other volcano's and occasionally volcano's go off.
