Swissie Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 A tad worrying, to say the least. Glad we live at 950m altitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 From the articleShe said: “There are about 35 active [big] volcanoes in Iceland and if we put a high quality seismograph and some global positioning equipment on each one we would often be able to tell in advance if an eruption was coming. The cost is tiny compared with the potential economic damage from an unexpected eruption.” So if we know in advance just what are we going to do? Get a big cork? I think the economic damage is going to be there come what may. By the way Swissie, I don't undertstand your 950m comment the ashh falls from far higher than that.
