Threat of New, Larger Icelandic Eruption Looms

For all the worldwide chaos that Iceland's volcano has already created, it may just be the opening act.

Scientists fear tremors at the Eyjafjallajokull volcano could trigger an even more dangerous eruption at the nearby Katla volcano — creating a worst-case scenario for the airline industry and travelers around the globe.

A Katla eruption would be 10 times stronger and shoot higher and larger plumes of ash into the air than its smaller neighbor, which has already brought European air travel to a standstill for five days and promises severe travel delays for days more.

Wasn’t volcanos one of the things Al Gore invented?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

I’m sure...A true legend in his own mind!

Great! the fewer muslims that immigrate the better.

[Ditter]

I am wondering how we can “be ready” for this.

[MadelineZapeezda]

In past history, Katla erupted stronger the last time Eyjaf did....and right after as well!

[Gay State Conservative]

This doesn't sound good.If it happens and continues for any length of time it's likely to hurt Europe's economy enormously.And we'll be hurt too.

The US Navy left Iceland a few years ago.

Probably finish up around 12/21/2012!!!

[A message]

Only a hefty tax on eruptions can save us now

Nailed it!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Right now they are working at getting research grants cause it might be caused by Global Warming....

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

ROFLMAO!

[SkyDancer]

Why would you contaminate a perfectly good functioning volcano?
