Katla Super Volcano Starting to rumble.

JONJO THE MISER

It appears that the Katla volcano has increased activity http://hraun.vedur.is/ja/Katla2009/stodvaplott.html

This volcano could blow in the next few weeks as it has on 3 previous occasions when its sister volcano did, apparently it is 10 times bigger than the other volcano that blow last week. If you look at the charts it gives the names of the 5 stations monitoring the volcano, if you look the closest station to the volcano is called god:eek:.

Better make a good confession...

Anyone else starting to think the Mayans could be right :eek::pac:

The last time this volcano/it's sister volcano erupted it lasted 14 months.

Is the first one measuring God's increasing anger with the human race?

about what?

alwaysadub

Wish it'd hurry up and do something!! I'm thinking of going on holidays in July, there'd better be flights going out by that stage :pac:

JONJO THE MISER

It doesnt make good reading folks, both volcanos share lava chambers so Katla could blow at any time, which will make the present volcano look like a minor inconvenience.

what a pain in the ash:o

If this one blows then the south westerlies better hurry up and blow that crap to the north pole.

Bonito

Those charts are 3 hours old. For all we know it could have blown already. :pac:

Jesus, if this things goes off and we're going into Summer, the lack of rain and any southerly wind will ruin European air travel...

you'd think that icelandic volcanoe was the first volcanoe to erupt ever, they've erupted before and havent had the ash blowin all over the place...

Q: Does the Mayan calendar end in December 2012?
A: Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then -- just as your calendar begins again on January 1 -- another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.

Finally, a volcano we can pronounce.

JONJO THE MISER

Its getting scary now, just look at the activity in the last few hours http://hraun.vedur.is/ja/Katla2009/stodvaplott.html

Cookie_Monster

its not a super volcano btw, but the one under Yellowstone is. If that went, most of the world would be ****ed.

a bit of reading on that one is fairly scary

L.Jenkins

Gas thing is, we're one of the closest Countries to it! So I think we should all leave work and college early and go for a few drinks. No hangover could be as bad as an eruption from that yoke!

You do live in that country that averages 90 days solid rain in the three months of summer, right?

For those on mobile.

The eruptions and ash disturbance from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano might be waking up its neighbor, Katla. If this is the case, the results could be globally devastating. Activity at Katla has risen 200% in the last two days.

The earthquake build up since the beginning of the year and subsequent eruptions at Eyjafjallajokull seem to be triggering the larger neighboring volcano, Katla. For the last two days, Katla has shown a dramatic 200% rise in activity. Geophysicists at Iceland’s Institute of Earth Sciences call Katla a vicious volcano that will be locally and globally damaging.

Katla’s last eruption started in 1821, along side an eruption at Eyjafjallajokull. Katla has a pattern of erupting in sequence with Eyjafjallajokull. However, Katla is different. It is much larger and it will make the present eruptions in Iceland look mild in comparison. Scientists say that although Eyjafjallajokull eruptions are less frequent, Katla eruptions are significantly worse and larger. Historically, Katla has been shown to wake up whenever Eyjafjallajokull does, and sometimes on its own. This is why it is believed that Katla will erupt and it will be soon. Due to the up tick in activity, the locals believe that Katla will erupt in approximately 7 days.

I think we should wait until the dust settles before we start making volcano jokes.

Katla last erupted in 1918 I think, as far as I know there were no devastating side effects worldwide then. TBH if it wasn't for the ash happening to blow over this direction, most of us wouldn't have a clue that there was an eruption going on.

Jesus are volcanoes the flavour of the month now?? I can see the daily mail headline tomorrow:

Can i be the first to mention Krakatoa ???
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatoa#The_1883_eruption

Average global temperatures fell by as much as 1.2 degrees Celsius in the year following the eruption. Weather patterns continued to be chaotic for years and temperatures did not return to normal until 1888.
