Iceland issues Bardarbunga volcano red alert
Iceland has issued a red alert to the aviation industry for the Bardarbunga volcano, meaning significant ash emissions are likely.
On Wednesday, authorities evacuated an area close to the volcano over fears it could erupt.
The move came after geologists said about 300 earthquakes had been detected in the area since midnight on Tuesday.
Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in 2010, producing an ash cloud that severely disrupted air travel.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

I thought I might as well.
It was just gathering dust.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Iceland volcano: Magma moving towards new volcanic system
The magma from Iceland's Bardarbunga volcano could be moving towards another large volcanic system.
Data recorded by a team from the University of Cambridge suggests that 50 million cubic metres of molten rock has moved in the last 24 hours.
If it continues on a northern trajectory it could feed into the Askja volcanic system, potentially triggering a large eruption.
Prof Bob White said: "It's headed straight for it."
But he cautioned that volcanoes were hard to predict.
