"Don't disrespect the Bardabing."

Scientists in Iceland are warning that another volcano looks set to erupt and threatening to spew-out a pall of dust that would dwarf last year's event....
Geologists detected the high risk of a new eruption after evaluating an increased swarm of earthquakes around the island's second largest volcano.
Pall Einarsson, a professor of geophysics at the University of Iceland, says the area around Bárdarbunga is showing signs of increased activity, which provides "good reason to worry".
He told the country's national TV station that a low number of seismometer measuring devices in the area is making it more difficult to determine the scale and likely outcome of the current shifts.
But he said there was "every reason to worry" as the sustained earthquake tremors to the north east of the remote volcano range are the strongest recorded in recent times and there was "no doubt" the lava was rising.
The geologist complained that the lack of coverage from measuring devices means he cannot accurately detect the depth and exact location of the increased number of localised earth movements.

Bárdarbing Bardaboom
Just great....and I am going to Europe at the end of the month for vacation and visiting relatives.
Oh well...at least this Icelandic Volcano is easier to promounce ;-)
GMTA!..Beat me to it!!!............
Bardabing...Bada Boom!
"Don't disrespect the Bardabing."
Hmmm. Sounds like a strip club in north Jersey!
LOL..I guess it’s Bardabunga north-west side of Vatnajökull and the Eyjafjallajökull volcano.....
What about fining the US for all of the noxious emissions in Yellowstone Park?
Was somewhat hoping to attend a meeting in the UK, but not now. I was stuck in Frankfurt for days when the volcano blew last April.
1. Place chair near summit of volcano. 2. Tell Gore to ‘Sit’.
Quick buy some carbon credits from Al Gore.
The idiot democrats are crushing our economy with their insane socialist EPA regulations and fines, while nature produces far, far greater emissions.
Is this the “big one” that the experts kept saying, “At least it isn’t (this one)” when the last unpronounceable one erupted?
Paul Krugman will come out with an article blaming it ON global warming.
Was looking at the Smithsonian volcano database a few years ago and concluded that the race for “coolest volcano name in the world” was a dead heat between Grimsvotn and Bardarbunga (with an honorable mention to the Helgrindur pyroclastic cones).
