Icelandic Volcano

 

800 Earthquakes have hit the part of Iceland south the Capital, Reykjavik and by the Blue Lagoon in the past several days with more expected with a tunnel of magma flowing underneath. Whole areas are being evacuated and a protective wall is being built around a nearby Power Plant.

It is believed a Volcanic Eruption will happen very soon (similar to the major Eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in 2010 when most of Europe’s Airspace was closed for 6 days – resulting in a loss of US$1.7 Billion Dollars to the Airlines with over 95,000 flights cancelled.)

I visited Reykjavik and swam in the Blue Lagoon when I was in Iceland in March 2011 – it is a very nice.
