On Saturday the volcano Eyjafjallajokull (AYA-feeyapla-yurkul) erupted, in Iceland. It has been dormant for 200 years. At least 500 people around the area had to evacuate. But by today many of these people have returned home. Some however, are still being advised that it is unsafe to return yet. Today on the island there were still minor tremors. Now, many scientists are worried that one of the bigger volcanoes on the island may be next to explode. If one of these bigger volcanoes exploded it would likely impact the whole world, like the eruption of Laki in 1783. Weather patterns changed and smog was seen around the earth. In some cases the gases released from the eruption were deadly.It too bad that there was an eruption. However, there is always something happening, it's just a fact of life. I hope there is not a bigger eruption to come. However, it seems that history repeats itself so I wouldn't be suprised at all if there is a huge volcano eruption on Iceland again. It's only a matter of time.
