    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:.

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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
