Katla, Hekla, Bárðarbunga, and Grímsvötn are well overdue a major eruption which could spark a travel disaster similar to the one that happened in 2010 when Iceland’s other major volcano, Eyjafjallajokull, erupted volcanoes.
Iceland is one of the most volcanically active nations in the world, and four huge volcanoes on the brink prove this.
Experts state there is a major eruption roughly every 44 years. Despite a few smaller ones, in recent years, including that in 2010, there has not been a significant eruption there since 1918, meaning it is massively overdue.
Pall Einarsson, geophysicist at the University of Iceland told Iceland Monitor: “Four of Iceland’s volcanoes are showing increased amounts of activity in preparation for another eruption.”
Of the four on the edge, Hekla is the most likely to erupt, according to geologists, which could spark a “major disaster”.
Professor Einarsson added: “Hekla is ready – at any moment.
“There are also 20-30 planes full of passengers flying right over the top of Hekla every day.
