Scary warning about the giant volcano
Katla volcano, meaning 'kettle' in Icelandic, is expected to erupt in the near future.
Flights across Europe may be canceled if a giant volcano in Iceland erupts, the Daily Star reported.

According to researchers, Katla volcano is showing signs of danger that it will soon erupt. That eruption could cause a chaotic European industry.
In 2010, another Icelandic volcano , Eyjafjallajökull , erupted with tall pillars of dust. Consequently, the vision decreased for six days. Flights in western and northern Europe have been canceled.
The volcanic houses of England and Iceland believe that similar events can occur when Katla volcano erupts.
Another Iceland volcano, Eyjafjallajökull.
Experts say it is now over for Katla's expected eruption (Icelandic means kettle).
An article published recently in the journal Geophysical Research Letters says that the mountain is emitting about 12-24 kilotons of CO2 every day.
This indicates that an eruption may be imminent.
The article contains: 'Through high-precision air measurements and the atmospheric dispersion model, we discovered Katla, the last particularly dangerous volcanic eruption 100 years ago, as one of the the largest source of CO 2 on Earth, generating up to 5% of global volcanic emissions'.
Sarah Barsotti, volcanic coordinator at the Meteorological Office of Iceland, said: "There is no way to predict when it will erupt, it will just erupt."
There is also evidence that the volcanic furnace of the volcano is rising at an alarming rate.
Evgenia Ilyinskaya, of the Institute of Geophysics and Tectonics at Leeds University in the UK, added: 'There must be a lot of ghosts enough to release this amount of gas.
This often happens in other volcanoes, such as in Hawaii and Alaska: CO 2 emissions increase weekly or annually before volcanic eruptions. "
'This is a clear sign that we need to monitor Katla. It is working and these findings confirm that something is happening '.
