lines, but for all the worldwide chaos this volcano has created, it might be the opening act. there could be more eruptions and ash from another volcano? no question about it. every time we ve known about it, which is the past three eruptions since 1600, every time this i m going to call it the e-15 volcano because i can t say it. e and then 15 other vowels or consonants at the end of it. every time it goes off, this other one called katla goes off with it. and katla is ten times larger of a volcano than e-15 is. so the good news is, at this point in time, katla is under 1,500 feet of ice, under a glacier. but if it starts to bubble, that ice will melt rather quickly and it will turn into a volcano as well. and i ve seen pictures of the volcano, where it looks like lightning inside it, almost. why is that happening? absolutely, lightning. lightning is all the time, with a volcano like this. this is not kilauea like in hawaii where the lava slowly oozes out.
