I'm always a bit wary of sites which call themselves 'The Extinction Protocol'; but if Hekla is bulging, it needs watching as this one mother of a volcano when it does let rip!

Interesting stuff.


Is there any data or graph available showing multi-decadal/centennial volcanic activity related to numbers and magnitude?

Yes, a super video clip.

Aren't we overdue a really spectacular eruption? A Tambora would be nice

It would certainly take global warming out of the spotlight for a few years 


In all seriousness though, I think Katla in Iceland may be worth keeping an eye on in the next few years. Mt Pinatubo in 1991 was the last big one, that halted global warming from 1992 - 1994, a VEI 5 volcano or higher usually has enough of an impact global temperatures, be careful what you wish for though......

Or Toba - for the 15000 who survived this supervolcanic event. Be careful what you wish for!

Yes, well Toba would be a tad extreme I grant you. Although we'd likely get a sub-zero CET from it

A geyser-like vent has opened up outside Rome Airport. Gases and steam has been seen shooting up 10 maybe 15ft into the air. It is not known yet if it's related to volcanism.


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/10265372/Volcanic-geyser-erupts-close-to-Rome-airport.html.


The nearest dormant volcano to Rome is Alban Hills, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alban_Hills.

Potentially interesting.  However, the report seems to play it down as a likely one off event
