My condolences Iceland. And Poland. And China.
Bad things are happening everywhere.
I'm sad.

its part of the mid atalantic ridge, its been spreading since the break up of pangaea, that gives us the volcanism
mammels survived the cretacous mass extinction, we should be good

Iceland, the land of the volcano and thermal energy is having normal event unfortunately it is happening under a glacier which is making it worse by flooding that area and shooting volcanic ash fifty-five thousand feet into the air where commercial air traffic fly.
This is the nature of the beast and it happens only a few hundred years.
The airplanes can use a different route but that would cost too much money in fuel so they are waiting it out.
This eruption gives a person a perspective into what a nuclear holocaust would look like minus the radiation fall-out.
According to a scientist on television said that the volcanic ash is like sharp chards of glass like material that if breathed in will do irreversible damage to the human body.
According to different news clips the volcanic ash has reached the eastern seaboard of North America.
It might take years to tally the final damage of this tragic event.

Next year, London will be a quarter inch farther away from New York. Talk about expended effort!

The Iceland volcanic eruption was designed and is controlled by the racist rednecks who hate Obama.

Small sea level oscillations from Krakatoa's explosion were recorded by tide gauges as far away as Hawaii, the American West Coast, South America, and even as far away as the English Channel, in France and England. It took 12 hours for the tsunami from Krakatoa's explosion to reach Aden on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, some 3800 nautical miles away.

The good news is: rift volcanoes aren't given to the violence of subduction zone volcanoes.
The bad news is: Volcanoes can't read....
