Thirteen huge earthquakes just happened around a huge Icelandic volcano.
It has been showing increased activity for about a month.
The Iceland metereological office has all the information on earthquakes going on in their region.
This volcano had a vicious eruption in 1918, and is still not dormant. It has shown a 200% increase in activity yesterday.
Magma started moving very quickly under the volcano in the past month.
Icelanders have been monitoring these earthquakes with videocameras for a while.
The Eyjafjallajokull has always been a precursor to Katla eruptions in the past.

Environmentalists are obssessing about this.
The Icelandic President has just told his country to start making all possible preparations for this eruption, and they are holding their breaths there.
I forgot where I read this, and I can't find the link again as easily, but something I found:
The very same volcano was responsible for mass extinctions in the very distant past.
I thought it was som mexican volcan or yellowstone that did the exstinstions and could mess us up big time if it blew the lid now??
Hasn't Kalta already erupted like five times in the past few hundred years? I'm not really worried about being extinct, especially when in the past two hundred years we've seen a number of eruptions much more powerful than what happened in 1918 with the Volcano and what is expected now.
