Actually, the one they are worried about is Katla. It almost always follows eruptions by the smaller volcano. Checked on volcanic eruption list in The Encyclopedia of Volcanos. Found that among others, Katla had major (VEI-4) eruptions in 1311, 1416, 1625, 1721, and 1918. It also had significant eruptions (VEI-3) in 1612, 1823. It seems as if 2010 could easily be time for another one, or a few years hence. I read one article at Google page Iceland Volcano Eruptions Katla, that said when it goes off under the glacier it has produced floods as great as the Mississippi River. Also speaking of the Mississippi, post Icelandic volcano weather has included freezing of that river at New Orleans!!
