On the bright side, “Katla” is pronouncable to non-Icelanders.

I don't expect an exact answer; but, does "imminent" mean sometime this month, sometime in the next 6 months, or does it mean tomorrow?

Katla is at least easier to spell than Eyjafjallajokull. The latter looks like cat typing.

I know they have to go off, that's what they do, but wouldn't it be nice to tap into that geotherm energy and make electricity bigtime to help stall and minimize the more dangerous ones.

Sure it would be expensive & dangerous, but we already do that with nukes so have at it, There's more energy there anyway.

while you are tecnically correct, nuclear energy is far easier to control.

Just what we need - the Canary Islands to blow and Iceland to explode.
