A region of Iceland is erupting for the first time in 800 years, raising concern of disruptions in air travel for centuries to come.
The Guardian of London reported that since Jan. 21, the Reykjanes peninsula southwest of Iceland's capital, Reykjavik, has experienced more than 8,000 earthquakes. About 10 centimeters of land has risen due to magma intrusions underground, the paper said.
"It seems that after being relatively inactive for many centuries, this region is waking up," Lancaster University volcanologist Dave McGarvie told the Guardian.
The area is fed by five volcanic systems, the Guardian said, "which seem to come to life in a coordinated way roughly every 1,000 years."
The 2010 eruptions of Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull caused the largest air-traffic shut-down since World War II.

The yellowstone caldera is quite active and has been with earthquake swarms and magma movement. Now if it erupts....

The Guardian is ultra-liberal. I hear they are even further to the left than notorious US-based publications like the NY Slimes and the Washington Compost. Can we trust them with this story?

Ten centimeters isn’t much land area...
Yes, I understand what they meant.
What do they teach in journalism school nowadays???

Yellowstone isnt even close to an eruption. They know how much erupt-able magma is in the chamber and it isnt even close.
Now the Long Valley Caldera is another matter. The Magma has intruded into the mountains along that valley-the magma is higher than in the valley.

We're good on that. Old hurricane prep habits die hard. Even if we don't live in a hurricane zone anymore. 😁🌀

The reason for the air travel disruption is the Great Circle route, which means, Flat-Earther stooges hardest hit!

Well, we're West of it so we're good. I saw a documentary once (some time ago) claiming that Yellowstone,if it were to become fully active,has the ability to change human civilization.Don't know if it's true but it's a rather unsettling thought.
