Breaking News The GRIMSVOTN volcano in Iceland is Erupting.
located on the central glacier, the volcano is unlikely to throw Lava on
Rekjavik, but small villages may be directly threatened.
However Air Corridors are in great threat as of this moment, pending better data. Current altitudes are not enough to endanger international
air corridors, current ash projections not into European air space, however, that
is subject to rapid change....[Local air traffic is stopped within 120 nM..[

Iceland's most active volcano erupted Saturday, with a white plume shooting 18,000 feet into the air, scientists said.
The eruption was followed by around 50 small earthquakes, the largest of which measured 3.7 on the Richter Scale, according to Iceland's meteorological office.
There was a similar eruption at the same volcano in 2004.
Scientists don't believe this eruption will lead to air travel chaos like that caused by ash from the Eyjafjallajokul volcano in April 2010
Apparently the Rapture crowd is taking this as a sign from God.

AP says it's expected to be small.
Hopefuly USGS or Europeans will hold a decent presser in a few hours.
Hang loose and see what they say.
