Baroarbunga is an interesting name for a volcano.
It sounds more like a folk dance or a fancy dessert.
The other volcano starting with an E, is straight up unpronounceable. Try saying that name,three times, really fast!

It belonged to Denmark before WWII, the US occupied it to prevent the Nazis from getting it, and then in 1944, they voted for independence from Denmark.

For those that do not know, Iceland is actually an exposed section of oceanic crust on the Atlantic Ridge. The volcanism is from the sea floor being torn apart along the ridge.

Baroarbunga...Eyjafjallajokull ....Vatnajokull

Were those names given so people couldn’t talk about them?

Wait a minute...”Valentin Troll”...troll, maybe that explains it.

Mr. Morpurgo needs to change his first name to Baroarbunga.

Mr. Baroarbunga Morpurgo has a certain virile masculinity about it.

This earthquake swarm was almost two days ago. Not a peep since.

Why is this article even written if it doesn’t mention Climate Change? Did it slip through or something?

Its government poses a far more clear and present danger to its citizenry than the geology.

For folks who want to keep an eye on the geological situation...

Looks like the freakout has been postponed...

If one’s translator is on the fritz, the takeaway...

“Low seismic activity has been detected in Bárðarbunga since Monday morning and the National Commissioner of Police has decided to cancel the uncertainty level.”

Isn’t every volcano on the verge of eruption???

We haven’t really got a clue as to how these things work. We pretend we do... but we really don’t have a clue... They will erupt when they decide to erupt... Not when we decide.

This must be Trump’s fault since he wants to buy the place.

The great circle route to Europe will be disrupted. The airlines can still fly a southerly route, but at greater cost in fuel and travel time.
