I guess we saw a smaller version of this phenomenon in Iceland in the nineties when the Grimsvotn volcano blasted through the Vatnajokll glacier and the resultant outflow took out the coastal highway.

Hey! Speak English so the rest of us can understand you! ;o)

Just kidding. I'd love to go to Iceland someday. Just finished reading "Red Storm Rising" for about the 6th time. I love the names of all the places. We knew a couple from Reykjavik when hubby was in Grad School. They were the nicest folks.

Yup, I always hate it when that happens, don't you?

Worst case of a local neighborhood volcano happened in Mexico nearly a century ago when one popped up in a guy's cornfield.

Definitely some bad ju ju.

It's been a laugh riot listening to the environazis tell us this would be the first time "fire melted ice"(paraphrasing Roseanne O'Donnell)
