Iceland Prepares for Another Eruption

The Katla Volcano, which is located in Vik, Iceland, is showing signs of a possible eruption in the near future. Seismologists testing the area for seismic activity indicate that recent earth quakes could possibly set off a volcanic eruption. This eruption is expected to be much larger than the volcanic eruption which halted air travel last year for weeks, costing airlines upwards of 2 billion dollars. Its last eruption took place in 1918, and the ash blocked out the sun, killing crops and livestock, and bringing devastating flooding. There has been an evacuation plan and alternate housing provided for the surrounding areas incase the eruption occurs. For now, it is a waiting game.
