Iceland raises Bardarbunga volcano alert to orange

The risk of an eruption at Iceland's Bardarbunga volcano has increased, with signs of "ongoing magma movement", Iceland's meteorological office says.

The risk level to the aviation industry has been raised to orange, the second-highest level, the met office said.

Any eruption could potentially lead to flooding or an emission of gas, the office added in a statement.

The Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in 2010, producing an ash cloud that severely disrupted European airspace.

The Bardarbunga volcanic system is located under the north-west region of Iceland's Vatnajokull glacier.

We can only hope that the elvish peace-plan holds. Otherwise, the trolls might rush in to fill the power vacuum and bring dragons into the conflict.

Gas is always a worry.

I'd avoid a holiday there having read the history. Sometimes Iceland kills everyone.

Yes. About once every few hundred thousand years, give or take. By your usual standards of panic-mongering, that's practically tomorrow!

Doesn't matter which way Scotland votes since the answer is blowing in the wind.

Nooo... That is going to disturb the eagles.

I blame Pappa and Rachel.

Of course, they have been disturbing the powers of Azathoth

Throw in a few virgins to appease the gods, that normally works.

I can pronounce Eyjafjallajökull and Vatnajökull.

...but only if Rachel promises to untie your tongue afterwards.

Can I examine them carefully, to determine without a doubt they are still virgins?

(something quantum might happen as I measure, of course... )
