Icelandic Volcano 'Set To Erupt'
Scientists in Iceland are warning that another volcano looks set to erupt and threatening to spew-out a pall of dust that would dwarf last year's event.

Geologists detected the high risk of a new eruption after evaluating an increased swarm of earthquakes around the island's second largest volcano.
Pall Einarsson, a professor of geophysics at the University of Iceland, says the area around Bárdarbunga is showing signs of increased activity, which provides "good reason to worry".
He told the country's national TV station that a low number of seismometer measuring devices in the area is making it more difficult to determine the scale and likely outcome of the current shifts.
But he said there was "every reason to worry" as the sustained earthquake tremors to the north east of the remote volcano range are the strongest recorded in recent times and there was "no doubt" the lava was rising.
The geologist complained that the lack of coverage from measuring devices means he cannot accurately detect the depth and exact location of the increased number of localised earth movements.

Haven't you heard? They already have a stock answer:
Decreasing ice mass >> Earth's crust shifts >> more volcanoes and earthquakes.
IOW, still our fault!
Nope...Sarah Palin's fault for all the HEATED rhetoric!
And "barack" here!
Kind of like a tympanic drum roll ~ “Barak” “Bunga Bunga” “Barak” “Bardarbunga” “Barak” “Barak” “Bunga” ~ with the “bunga” being carried by a brace of parade tympanies and 4 snare drums with lose snares doing the “barak” part. “Bardar” is done by a parade base drum about 8 feet tall ~ two guys lay into that sucker.
Question ~ did you catch where it said anything about FLUORINE and its compounds.
chuckles!
It may bury Europe in several feet of pyroclastic pasta.
Where’s Rick Sanchez when you need him? Wasn’t he the one gigling about how absurd the thought was that there were volcanoes in Iceland?
But, still no law against Sarah Palin hate speech. She must be stopped.
I think he's covering the imminent capsizing of Guam, or trying to get pictures of the flag our astronauts planted on Mars.
First the depression II <——is that what we’re in and our government just won’t tell us?

And now an eruption?
Neither
The one that erupted was (phontecially) aya-fee-yatla-yokul, the one to fear is Katla (which has historically followed the yokul) and this is a whole brand new one to be worried about. I am in Iceland right now and will ask the natives what they think about this badda-bing volcano..........I hope I can get a flight out of here if it blows.
WTF is phontecially? Make that phonetically....(is that a word?)

I think it’s spelled fon-et-IK-lee
