The world is about to have a new volcanic disaster

Scientists say they recorded more than 500 tremors in and around Katla Crater last month and it is likely that an eruption is imminent.

According to BBC , if Katla volcano 'awakened' it will have much worse consequences than the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull volcano last April. According to experts, the amount of ash generated by Katla's eruptions could be 10 times more than the amount of ashes covering the northern hemisphere due to Eyjafjallajokull volcano created last year. However, that is not the worst.

Katla will produce 10 times more ash than Eyjafjallajokull volcano.

Katla lies deep beneath the ice about 500m in the Myrdalsjokull glacier, the largest glacier in Iceland. The ice above Katla is twice as thick as the ice above the volcano of the Eyjafjallajokull glacier. Experts say that, with a crater about 10km wide, Katla's eruption could melt the giant glacier on the surface and create billions of gallons of water to the east coast into the Atlantic Ocean. This can cause extremely terrible consequences.

'There have been many seismic activities recorded , ' said Ford Cochran, an expert at National Geographic in Iceland. 'There have been more than 500 seizures recorded in and around Katla crater last month. That shows the movement of magma. And surely a new eruption is about to happen. '

The last time Katla was active was in 1918 and according to calculations by experts every 80 years Katla awakened once. Therefore, it is possible for Katla to erupt in the near future.

Katla's 1918 eruption collapsed giant icebergs and swept them into the ocean. In addition, the salaries of Katla's eruption in 1775 were created by the amount of water of all the world's largest rivers combined.
