Volcano Neglects Global Warming sanctions, Erupts near Glacier.

An Icelandic Volcano erupted beneath a glacier on Sunday, becoming the next battle in the constant struggle between fire and ice. Fire, of course, always wins in the short run, and thus is quick to disappear, while ice slowly lingers on. Or does it? The latest global warming debates seem to predict an end to the polar ice caps as well as life as we know it. These rogue Icelandic Volcanoes don't seem to be helping things either.


This explosive occurrence happened to be under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier, 100 miles east of Reykjavik, Iceland. Speculation abounds that the volcano may have gone mad trying to pronounce the name of the glacier it was stuck under and finally blew its top. The glacier declined to comment.


Floodwaters from the now faster melting glacier may pose a danger to the surrounding countryside (and country, because of the relatively small size of it), and authorities evacuated several hundred people as a precaution. Luckily, it seems that no one was injured in the event, not even the brave undocumented daredevils who attempted to kayak the floodwaters down to Kirkjubeajarklaustur (actual city in southern Iceland). Okay the whitewater enthusiasts may have been exaggerated, but you can't prove they weren't there.


This incident shows that while Global Warming may be more and more imminent, there is always the hope of Volcanic Glacial water slides to help take our mind off of it.
