That Iceland volcano, whose eruption has sent five hundred fleeing. The Seablogger, an amateur vulcanologist, is on the case. One of his commenters, R. de Haan, came up with this good aerial video emphasizing the weird juxtaposition of fire and ice. Flooding from melting ice is the main fear now. (Unless you’re a Scientologist worried about Xenu’s attitude.)
UPDATE: The flooding hasn’t occurred but now the worry is that this eruption, as it has in the past, will trigger the eruption of Katla, a much bigger volcano which would have hemispheric effects.
















Thanks, I was looking everywhere for a good shot of that eruption.
By the way, a good sizable volcano eruption may have cooling effect lasting a few years. Oy vey.
Katkla would cool things off in the Northern Hemisphere for sure. This first one was too small.
