The most frightening volcano Iceland is about to erupt.

Hekla, one of Iceland's major volcanoes, is showing signs of going to work, according to scientists' judgment based on the shift of magmatic layers.

Sky News quoted Pall Einarsson, a geophysicist at the University of Iceland: ' The movements around Hekla's tops in the past 2 or 3 days are unusual '.

Although this situation is not alarming, he insists: ' The volcano is ready to erupt '.

Hekla is a volcano located close to Eyjafjoell, a mountain in a state of dust release and has caused the largest air suspension in the world since the Second World War, affecting more than 100 thousand flights fly and 8 million passengers last year.

Pall Einarsson also explained further, the reason that Hekla mountain is gradually expanding again in recent years is due to the accumulation of magmatic layers below.

Ari Trausit Gudmundsson, another geophysicist, also thinks that the movement around Hekla is really strange. ' There is something going on, ' he said, but added that it is not certain if it is sprayed and if so, when.

In medieval times, Hekla was dubbed ' Road to Hell ', and is one of the most active volcanoes in Iceland. 1,491m high and 100km east of Reykjavik, Hekla emitted 10% - about 5 km ^{3 of} volcanic ash over the past millennium. This mountain erupted about 20 times, the last time was on February 26, 2000.

In particular, Hekla is said to be a difficult mountain to predict about eruption, some times lasting about a few days, months or even years.

More than a month ago, in southeast Iceland, another mountain named Grimsvoetn also erupted for nearly a week, emitting more dust than Eyjafjoell, but causing less impact on air traffic because of reverse winds. .
