Scientists warn about more volcano activity in Iceland

According to scientists, Iceland (and the rest of Europe) should brace themselves for another bout of volcano problems in the near future. Scientists have noticed volcanic activity in the vicinity of another volcano, Katla. The said volcano is east of Eyjafjallajökull and is larger and more powerful.

Scientists warn about more volcano activity in Iceland

The University College of London Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction released an initial research paper, indicating that Katla’s seismic activity over the last ten years is indicative of an impending eruption. The paper said that Katla’s activity is not linked to the recent Eyjafjallajökull ash cloud incident. It said further, “We conclude that given the high frequency of Katla activity, an eruption in the short term is a strong possibility. It is likely to be preceded by new earthquake activity. Presently there is no unusual seismicity under Katla.”

Iceland President Ólafur Grímsson has issued a warning to the other European governments to prepare for the possible eruption.
