It absolutely does look that way. I hope that poor farmer survives unscathed.

CODE ORANGE: The Risk Of An 'Explosive Subglacial Eruption' In Iceland Just Went Up ...

[caww]

[caww]

The 'orange' volcano alert, now in place, is the second highest level and is issued when a "volcano shows heightened or escalating unrest with increased potential of eruption." Color code 'red' is the highest level and indicates "eruption is imminent or in progress - significant emission of ash into atmosphere likely". The activity started on 16 August and there was a "strong earthquake" on Monday morning. "This is the strongest earthquake measured in the region since 1996," the Icelandic Met Office said. The Bardarbunga volcano is located under the Vatnajökull glacier and rises 2,009 metres above sea level, making it the second highest mountain in Iceland. When the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in 2010 it shut down most of Europe's airspace for six days and affected more than 10 million travellers. According to ABTA, up to one million people affected were British.

They’re already alerting plane travel could well be interrupted if this goes as it did when it shut down Europe travel before...

"Iceland[5] i/ˈaɪslənd/ (Icelandic: Ísland [ˈistlant]) is a Nordic country between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. It has a population of 325,671 and an area of 103,000 km2 (40,000 sq mi), making it the most sparsely populated country in Europe.[6] The capital and largest city is Reykjavík; the surrounding areas in the South-West of the country are home to two-thirds of the population. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior consists mainly of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains and glaciers, while many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle.

According to Landnámabók, the settlement of Iceland began in AD 874 when the chieftain Ingólfr Arnarson became the first permanent Norse settler on the island.[7] In the following centuries, Norsemen settled Iceland, bringing with them thralls of Gaelic origin. From 1262 to 1918, Iceland was ruled by Norway and later Denmark. The country became independent in 1918 and a republic in 1944."

Oh yes.... does gum up the engines and the plane will go down for that....dangerous to fly through...I was following it when the smoke hit Europe...amazing how long it kept planes out of the air across Europe.

[trisham]

I’ll be amazed if it doesn’t erupt. I remember Mt. Saint Helens.

And my sister told me in my single days that the girls like dark haired handsome men.
