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 getting restless again.

Eyjafjallajokull?

Pat, can I SELL a vowel?

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.

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

Atlantic Tsunamis R Us.

I cannot see the word “Iceland” without thinking of one of my oldest friends. This guy had a way with girls which was unbelievable absolutely incredible.

More than 40 years ago we worked together at a mountain retreat which employed a large number of college students. During that first Summer he dated Miss New Mexico. One day he told me he was going to wait until he was in his 60’s to get married and then was going to marry a model from Iceland.

Now if anyone else had told me that, I would have dismissed it as nonsense but he really meant it. Over the years I have seen him pick up girls, beautiful girls, effortlessly. We would see a girl in the mall, and he would go over and talk to her. Within a few minutes he would have a date with her. I saw him do the same thing once with a gorgeous blonde who was playing tennis on the court next to us.

He dated a former Miss Universe. He showed me pictures of them and I thought Miss New Mexico was actually prettier.

A couple of years ago he did in fact marry a twenty something year old model but she is Chinese instead of Icelandic so I guess he failed in his ultimate quest.

Katla could be a jobs killer.

Why isn’t there an “Occupy Katla” movement there?

(And somebody needs to make sure that they stay up there even during the eruption).

There once was a big girl from Iceland
She had the largest hole on the island
When she was ready to blow
She started to glow
And she delivered her load to the mainland
