If you liked Eyjafjallajokull wait till you see Katla.

The recent Eyjafjallajokull volcano eruption that has wreaked havoc on European air travel pales in comparison to the eruption its neighbor volcano Katla is capable of. Scientists say its eruption would be 10 times higher and much larger than its smaller volcano friend.

Fortunately, Katla is covered by the glacier Myrdalsjokull, which adds a layer of 550 yards of solid ice, which would take a significant explosion to break through. It shows no signs of activity, but... the last three times Eyjafallajokull has exploded, Katla has also, and... since Katla hasn't erupted since 1918 but usually erupts every 80 years, it may be a little overdue. I'm not saying it will erupt, but I'm also not buying a summer house on the slopes of Iceland.

Many have attributed the violent nature of Katla's eruptions to its insecurity at having a much shorter name, even though it is the much larger volcano. A larger ash cloud produced by this volcano would continue to impede flight across the world on a much larger scale than the first eruption, and would leave a much larger number of disgruntled vacationers and business people. Which means, now would not be a bad time to take a week off of work to go to Europe (only make sure to pack for a bit longer).
