icelandanon here, this happens every few years. This time there´s a town in danger, as well as a powerplant and the bluelagoon-tourist destination. They´re starting to build a defence wall around the powerplant, but otherwise we´ll just have to wait and see.
It will prolly not be a big one, but nobody knows for sure. Maybe the town get´s destroyed, but that´s life in Iceland.
This will never be as big as the "Eyjafjallajökull"-eruption in 2010. That was under a glacier = explosion and ash forming eruption, stopping all air traffic in Europe and elsewhere.
This one will never do that, unless the eruption starts out from the beach in the sea. Then there could be ash, but nothing serious, I presume.
This is just Iceland.

You´re welcome, but have no doubts, there´s a big one coming. Remember Eyjafjallajökull in 2010. If you look at a map, right next to it is Katla and she´s a monster, many many times the size of Eyjafjallajökull. When Katla erupts properly (and she´s way overdue right now, usually one eruption per century), then the world will notice. Eyjafjallajökull stopped air traffic in Europe for a month. When Katla goes she could stop all air traffic in the northern hemisphere for a year.. or two.. or moar.
kek, you´re right! we should pay more taxes so they can better control the volcanos.
don´t know. seems iceland is going into an active volcano period, especially in that area. there were two small eruptions right there recently.
I think we should try throwing some shill into the volcano. ..might not work, but still fun.
