Earthquakes near Iceland volcano 'biggest felt in years' People in Iceland have been warned to be "on their toes" as fears grow of another major volcanic eruption in the country. Vidir Reynisson, department manager at the Civil Protection Agency in Iceland, said the latest round of earthquakes had been the most intense felt in the region for many years.

It hasn't erupted yet.  But if it did erupt and got through 700m of glacier, then the wind (thanks to hurricane Bertha) is blowing straight from Iceland, right over the UK and down to the Canaries...  

The dots are earthquakes. There have been 1500 (mostly very small ones) in the last 48 hours.
