Eyjafjallajokull Volcano & Katla Too?

Back in early March I wrote about the pending Eyjafjallajokull Volcano eruption. Little did I know it would come so soon; however, the question remains, what about KATLA? If you think things are bad now, wait until we have the neighboring volcano in Iceland blow its proverbial top. Let's hope that doesn't happen; however, with the current state of the solar system and our planet, the stakes are rising.

News report have entered into HYPERBOLE: The day the earth stood still!

A lingering volcanic ash plume forced extended no-fly restrictions over much of Europe on Saturday, as Icelandic scientists warned that volcanic activity had increased and showed no sign of abating -- a portent of more travel chaos to come. Scientists say that because the volcano is situated below a glacial ice cap, the magma is being cooled quickly, causing explosions and plumes of grit that can be catastrophic to plane engines if prevailing winds are right.

"The activity has been quite vigorous overnight, causing the eruption column to grow," Icelandic geologist Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson told The Associated Press on Saturday. "It's the magma mixing with the water that creates the explosivity. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an end in sight." So, how long will air travel be suspended? No one knows. News flash- we're not in control!

The Icelandic Meteorological Office said the amount of ash in the plume grew Saturday and that the vast ash cloud is continuing to travel south and southeast. Scientists had planned to fly over the volcano to see how much ice has melted to determine how much longer the eruption could spew ash, but the Icelandic Coast Guard said Saturday's flight had been postponed.

Earthquakes are popping up (3.0+) in the dozens DAILY in the hot zones of Baja California, Chile, Indonesia, Alaska, and China. And as I write this there are no SUN SPOTS!

What's going to happen when they begin appearing in increased frequency which is what's going to happen? And, researchers are also worried about the Katla volcano which is situated almost 16 kms away from Eyjafjallajokull. It has been observed that both the volcanoes erupted together in 1612 and again from 1821 to 1823. According to the data that has been gathered over the years, it is believed that Katla can release far more material during an eruption than Eyjafjallajokull.

In other words, we might just be getting ready to see Katla awaken and we could be in for a cool summer and a very cold winter depending upon the amount of ash and sulfur thrown into the air for any extended period of time.
