Disturbing things are happening below Iceland:
http://news.msn.com/world/thousands-of-intense-earthquakes-rock-iceland
Iceland has several volcanoes of much greater significance that Eyawhateverthehelljökull which erupted in 2010 and disrupted air traffic over Europe for weeks. Notable among those are Hekla, Katla and Laki. The latter is a 17-mile long fissure that erupted for several months, continuously, in 1783-1784 and ultimately killed many tens of thouands of people across northern Europe, mainly via release of huge amounts of sulfur dioxide, which combined with oxygen and water to form sulfuric acid clouds.
Another stupendous eruption from Katla or Hekla (I disremember which) was even worse, about 1000 years ago. At the time Eya*** went off in 2010 it was reported that there is a history of that one being followed shortly by a bigger blast from one of the other nearby volcanoes. Well . . . now we have some really disturbing seismic stuff going on there.
Pay some attention to this.
