The Icelandic geological community is very worried about seismic activity at the country's second largest volcano.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/iceland/8311924/Icelandic-volcano-set-to-erupt.html
Last year's eruption interfered with European airspace, shut down flights across the continent and made a general mess of economic activity. The current suspect dwarves the punk that acted-out in 2010.
If it happens, maybe we'll get some really beautiful sunrises and sunsets for a while. And a whole bunch of other things, too.
might get colder for a year or two also

All I got from that article was a geologist going "scare scare scare - I need more money and equipment - scare scare scare"
Don't forget about the one here - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41494177/ns/technology_and_science-science/

In reply to fastEddie:
Wasn't there an episode of Mega Disasters that speculated on an eruption of the Yellowstone caldera?
If that were to happen, I'd rather be at ground-zero and enjoy the show - for a while. Better than enduring the aftermath.........
it won't erupt as long as they keep Captain Slow from driving a modified Toyota HiLux pickup to the top to try to get a lava sample..
this time it should be Hammond instead. he's smaller, and as such will disturb the land less.
