(AP) REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) – Torrents of water are pouring from a glacier that sits atop Iceland’s most active volcano, an indication that the mountain is growing hotter and may be about to erupt, scientists said Monday. The flood that began Thursday at the Grimsvotn volcano is similar to one in 2004 that lasted five days and ended with an eruption that disrupted European air traffic, University of Iceland geophysicist Pall Einarsson said. In April, millions of air travelers around the world were grounded when ash from Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokul volcano led most northern European countries to close airspace for five days. There are no signs yet of the underground tremors that would signal an eruption at Grimsvotn, Icelandic Meteorological Office geophysicist Gunnar Gudmundsson said. Grimsvotn lies under 650 feet (200 meters) of ice on the Vatnajokull glacier in southeast Iceland. In addition to 2004, it erupted in 1998 and 1996, causing flooding to a largely uninhabited plain around it. The flooding triggered by hot molten rock, or magma, from the volcano has been expanding a lake underneath the glacier, building pressure strong enough to send water pouring from under the ice cap. A rugged island in the north Atlantic, Iceland is one of the world’s most volcanically active countries. www.cbsnews.com Here is a story from the Washington Post about Indonesia and over 20 active volcanos www.washingtonpost.com
Good call. Not too many people were paying attention. Fascinating…
@sebaswildboy I noticed that too sebaswildboy.
Will there maybe alot of nature disasters??? the economy is also more going bad by the cheap dollar.And Iran / Israel is also not a good relationship. and i dont trust russia with his atomic bombs.
@PoketsOfagenius Haha, here too, I have allready 500 cans of food. and alot of rice and potatoo powder.

@NibiruMagick2012 me too *-* it will be pretty!
Lol all those 2012 critics are about to be the most unprepared people on the planet. No they may not have my beans or ammo. If they get 500 feet within my property they are in serious trouble.
Much love -Pokets

Thank you!
dang you’re fast… thx for the updates. keep em coming
@skybirdbird Looking forward to the timelaps snow storm videos in a sick kinda way
if these things keep blowing it is going to add to this cold winter scenario!
Timewave zero scale seems to indicate that we are in for a ride this november
Did you check that one out nibirumagick?
It is getting scary now, Seems every volcano is starting to wake up…Wonder what is causing all of these volcanoes to decide to wake up at this point of time?… Wonder if the gravitational pull of the approaching planet Nibiru-PlanteX-Wormwood has anything to do with it?
Guess we will soon find out.
Yikes……
Like we NEED another volcano to blow…….geeeez, its like a new one blowing off every day
Thanks bud
