There is an Eruption Brewing in Iceland (and It May Start Soon)

Over the past few weeks -- and extending sporadically over the last year -- there have been swarms of Earthquakes on the Reyjanes Peninsula in Iceland. Now, Icelandic officials say the earthquakes and tremor (see below) being felt around Keilir all point to the potential of an eruption starting there very soon, potentially today. The aviation alert for flights in and out of Reyjavík (only 20 miles/30 kilometers from the potential eruption site) has been raised to Orange and people are being warned to stay away from the volcano.
