Iceland Volcano Gods Angry Again, Threaten European Airspace With Latest Bout Of Indigestion
More unpronounceable geological mayhem is about to come to the fore out of Iceland's business end. The country's volcano gods, which as we pointed out previously demand the sacrifice of a former FRBNY henchman to be placated, will not be denied, and will likely make airplane travel in and out of Europe just that more problematic, and just in time for the holiday season. While most have been following the tremor activity around Katla, this time the action takes us to the heretofore unknown, to most, Grimsvotn. As AP reports "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 on Monday."
The flood that began on 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 travellers 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 200m 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.
We predict that as a result, 24/7 gazing at closed circuit cameras pointed at some random mountain on the horizon is about to become a national pastime once again.
The clip below shows what happens when Iceland volcano gods get angry (as of the last eruption in the volcano in 2004):

Volcanos like vampires prefer virgins. No one from the fed or sec qualifies to be sacrificed
Give it Lindsay Lohan and save us all!
Take Lindsay Lohan for example....no, take her.
Prefers maybe.......but doesn't require. And if they made it past the Fed and Sec selection process, may I suggest they're all well qualified for admission into Hades.
I say throw them all in and let the volcano Gods sort it out. Anyone who survives is innocent and anyone burned to a crisp was guilty. Show of hands please? Great, that was unanimous from where stand 1450 miles away.
Back up the trucks Tyler, we're got a long week ahead of us so we might as well start now. Is there any way we could finish with the Fed by 2 PM Wednesday?
Sure. Targeted HAARP.
Two words:Sacrifice Required!
I propose we start with members of congress, next up the bankers and then the SEC.
But we have to proceed carefully....if the sacrifice is rejected, things will go badly.Very badly.
Your eschatology is backward. If they survive, they must have had a pact with the devil and are guilty, but if they burned up, then they must have been innocent.
Priests and bankers can write the rules any way they see fit, because they are doing God's work.
Us locals to Salem understand this totalliy. - Ned

CD are you by any chance on twitter?
No I am not.
"it may be about to erupt---"; or not. In which case what is this article about ? This article is about the predjudice in favor of disaster; which is a problem right now amongst the great un-educated masses. Caused, of course, by the mainstreat media. Thanks, Zero Hedge, for chiming in.
Of course, because there is no need to make plans in the case of a volcanic eruption trapping someone on the wrong side of the Atlantic, costing thousands of extra dollars to get home.
The Obamas are taking 40 planes and have reserved 800 rooms in India this month. Last time the Volcano's started bitching the entire Government of Poland had disappeared! I don't know exactly what I'm hoping for but absolutely nothing would surprise me at this point.
No it's an article on an alternative web-site - that provides editorial, content, and community for free. [Have you contributed yet?] Some might call the news/editorial slant biased, or maybe it's the development of a niche and helps build an audience. An article like this highlights some possible developments that might impact the economy and/or markets.
Of course, with an IQ like that you should be able to read through the editorial slant or simply find another website among the many out there that speaks more to your interests and/or sense of humor...
Well said.
Black Swan, bitchez.
HAARP, Knock, Knock, Knocking on Heaven's Door

"I founded and led the ARCO program until 1987," Eastlund says. "About that time Edward Teller visited Robert Hirsch, the ARCO vice president who had hired me. I don't know the direct results of that discussion, but shortly thereafter new [secret] initiatives began which I was not privy to, and I declined further involvement."
lMeaningless rubbish. There are thousands and thousands of persons out there who know how to type, but do not know how to think; and they have no basic science education.
Care to explain why you think it's fallacious? I mean if your username is indicative of your intelligence you should be able.
Everyone can dream, can't they?
sure, just a kinda' little skosh.
of course, it isn't a quantum amount...

OK, well try this then:
http://www.newworldorderwar.com/was-haarp-responsible-for-senator-ted-st...
We are going to use HAARP to take Russia. Their birth/death model has broken down into the unsustainable zone. HAARP moves in to drought the place.
The bridge to nowhere will expand to connect Alaska to Russia and it's ours. The downside, no more Russian chicks doing webcam shows.
Art Bell has no definitive comment to make. But, well, he never did. - Ned
No more webcams?! Aw shucks.
Japan wants in on the game too:

But they use space energy instead of natty.

Have any of you guys ever been to Iceland?
I would like to go there with the Super Adventure Club. Experience tells me secluded and cold places have slightly higher concentrations of female virgins. Just sayin...
You clearly know nothing about Scandinavians.
Ok Finland might be cold but it's not exactly secluded. I know I know, Swedish girls love blacks. Those people just have no taste. I will stick with slutty Belgian girls. They are as disposable as a $1500 Mazda MX-5: cheap, plenty of fun and if you crash it into a pole you just leave it there and get another one.
haha :-)
true dat.
Goddammit
I welcome your cheeky picture back. It fits your name better than the momentary interloper you used of late.
Verbose mode: Off
She will.
You sorted out your twitter escapades? I miss seeing your ascerbic and entertaining tweets.
This thing Gordholdontoyournutsack or whatever it translates to in English has One Possible Good Ecological Outcome! No Shit!
If bad enough (the eruption) it may cause the 40 aircraft presidential jackwagonto be cancelled flying from DC to India for a 3 day Politicians Anonymous 12 Step recovery seminar scheduled to begin shortly after rumored elections in which the nation's Ubermensch might participate, thereby not dispensing an even greater amount of carbon into the fragile ecosystem.
Think of that!
The ecosystem is not fragile. Co2 is beneficial to humanity in the atmosphere, it causes increased growth rates in green plants, AKA, food. Congratulations, you have been brainwashed, and you have no hard science education. This, of course, makes your brainwashing very easy.

Heh, hey brain scientist, how is that carbon dioxide thing working out for Venus?
Yah, yer right, David Suzuki just wants your conscience so he can make more money. In fact that's all he has ever been about, stuffing his own piehole; so very the opposite of altruistic you.
\sarc.
Carbon dioxide on Venus, heh... .72 AU mean anything to you? If you believe this fraud, oh never mind...
oop, looks like we have another mensa member... give him a hand folks!
When you refer to "science' do you mean scientage, scientody, or scientistry?
Better it stop them from flying back.
I believe the USA has not one, but many bankers to offer as sacrifice to the volcano gods.
Fittingly, Iceland has not one but many active volcanoes in need of appeasement.
Actually, the US supply of bankers qualified for deposit into any Iceland volcanos exceeds Icelands population. I love irony.
Do sacrificial virgins count if they are only ass virgins? No?
Oh well, we wouldn't have been able to offer up any American or European taxpayers anyway.
TD/DI, God bless you. I'm still chuckling.
So... any ideas how to trade this?
or is the QE2 confirmation/letdown volcanic enough?
Never fool with mother nature. 40 planes heading to Taj Mahal.
This was enjoyable to watch until it turned into 'Top Gun' at the end. How corny!
There's this one, and two in indonesia about to pop. WTF is going ON?
Nothing is "going on". Absolutely nothing. But, of course, this is very boring and doesn't sell advertising space, so feel free to pick your version of "what is going on". eg. The incidence of "Volcanic Events", or might be events, is entirely statistically insignificant; but don't let that stop you.
The human race is statistically insignificant. What is your point? You're saying so-called tail risks don't matter, even when the potential damage is catastrophic? I think you left a decimal point out of your "IQ" number.
We "humans" if I may be so bold are statistically insignificant to the earth.
Fleas on a large dog...
This fits nicely with the November 8th prophecy...
ALTA report?
Get ready to start tipping maybe.
How much for the magma's cap and trade prophets?
Lets see the global climate warming changers worry about some sacrosanct carbon emmisions after mother nature has her coming out party.
Damn Tacos....
como se yama?
Figures Grimsvotn would erupt on election day, as that's just the national mood of the voters.
Black swan. Final straw. Epic fail. No sun - worldwide for 4 months. This glacier gonna fall to the center of the earth. This ain't no joke - no tremors yet? Just wait. Iceland be ready to blow. Flights Europe-US will have to go by way of Tierro del Fuego. As Slim Pickins said, classicly, "Yaaaahhhhooooohhhhhh!". Ride the bomb.

With that big bad I.Q. you should be able to figure out the difference.

And let us not forget "Scienthology":
Scienthology: The practice of a division of doxastic labor which involves blindly placing one's uninformed faith in the opinions of scientists, particularly those opinions which are advertised as a "scientific consensus". Also includes the fetishistic worship of a romanticized Platonic ideal of science, primarily by those lacking professional scientific credentials.
Will this Volcano affect Google shares?

Shutdown corner.
I sure hope that's not the place where the FED put the US gold reserve to hide it from the world...
Short Icelandic Real Estate? Not with my dottir.
Typical ZH. The video is from an eruption Nov04.
The video below is from the last eruption in Grímsvötn in November 2004 by Kristján and Fáfnir.

This Icelandic website has a series of daily articles concerning this activity, what sort it is and current status bearing faint resemblance at best to the above rendering.

This volcanology website is administered by an actual vulcanologist and has done a marvelous job for years debunking and discrediting the sensationalized rumor reiterated until 'fact' to be soon forgotten in the mainstream and blogosphere.
http://bigthink.com/blogs/eruptions/
There is an update of this volcano and the former Eyjafjallajökull Eruption.
The "end" of the Eyjafjallajökull Eruption: In all the hubbub about Merapi and the eruptions in Kamchatka, I almost missed that the scientists at the University of Iceland Institute of Earth Science has declared the eruption at Eyjafjallajökull "over". Ármann Höskuldsson warned that this does not mean that the volcano could resume erupting in the future, but rather that this eruptive period is done.
