Iceland: Second Volcano About to Blow?

By Larry Habegger | Permalink | No Comments | June 2nd, 2010 | Trackback

Scientists warned that Iceland’s Katla volcano, much larger than Eyjafjallajokull, may be on the verge of eruption. A research paper prepared by the University College of London Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction analyzed the last decade of seismic activity around Katla and found that an eruption soon is a strong possibility. Historically, Katla has followed Eyjafjallajokull eruptions within days or months. The Iceland government has warned nearby countries that a major eruption is likely and urged them to plan contingencies for the ash clouds that would follow. Eyjafjallajokull’s recent eruption disrupted air travel throughout northern Europe and remains a concern.
