Here comes Katla

I mentioned awhile back that the Katla volcano in Iceland almost always erupts along with the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, which has been erupting for quite some time.  Well, Katla is starting to rumble...

Icelandic President Ólafur Grímsson has warned governments around Europe that a significant eruption at the volcano is close. "We [Iceland] have prepared ... it is high time for European governments and airline authorities all over Europe and the world to start planning for the eventual Katla eruption," he said.

Katla's quiet a bit bigger than the unpronounceable Eyjafjallajökul... so travelers beware...
