Is
Katla beginning to act up?
Conflicting maps
6 May 10 - Yesterday I wondered if
Eyjafjallajökull might be a precursor to an eruption at nearby Katla
volcano.
Lo and behold, the first sign of seismic activity may have occurred.
I say may have occurred, because the website containing this map
showed an earthquake beneath the
massive Myrdalsjokull glacier
yesterday.
Katla lies buried beneath the Myrdalsjokull glacier,
which, with ice measuring 550 yards thick, is one of Iceland's largest.
However, that was yesterday.
But
today for some reason,
the map has been changed and the earthquake symbol has
been removed.
A Katla eruption would be 10 times stronger and shoot
higher and larger plumes of ash into the air than its smaller neighbor.
History has proven that when the Eyjafjallajokull (also
called Eyjafjoll) volcano erupts, Katla also erupts — but no one can
predict how soon, or how explosively.
If anyone knows what is really happening beneath the
Myrdalsjokull glacier,
please let me know.

volcano should erupt, it would likely
send the world, including the USA, into an extended deep freeze.

Threat of Larger Icelandic Eruption Looms
19 Apr 10 - Scientists fear the Eyjafjallajokull volcano could trigger
an
eruption 10 times stronger at the nearby Katla volcano. The last three
times
that Eyjafjallajokull erupted, so did Katla, shooting higher and larger
plumes
of ash into the air than its smaller neighbor.
