Iceland, which has already presented a surprise to the whole world in the form of the awakened Eyjafjallajokull volcano, may become a place where a catastrophe of a planetary scale will arise
This warning was made by experts who took part in a press conference held at the end of this week in Moscow. It was also about what the current eruption threatens, which has already become the cause of the transport collapse in Europe.
Vladimir Krivitsky, associate professor of the Department of General and Applied Geophysics at Dubna University, believes that Eyjafjallajokull may still surprise. “Steam is first emitted from the volcano, then pyroclastics (silicon), then larger pyroclasts are thrown out, then volcanic bombs and then lava is poured out. Pyroclastics is still flying in the Icelandic volcano, which suggests that the volcanic eruption can still be very powerful,”Krivitsky warned.
According to Nikolai Zharvin, a researcher at the Moscow State University Museum of Geosciences, after volcanic outbursts in Iceland, a flood may begin. This will happen if Eyjafjallajokull's neighbor Katla is activated. Such a development of the situation is quite likely. In the future, the Earth is threatened by a worldwide flood, which will originate again in the Iceland region.
“When the melting of the Greenland glacier reaches a critical point, the Icelandic paper clip may burst. Then the North American lithospheric plate will rush up, and the Eurasian plate - down. A huge dip is formed, where water will rush and enter the noosphere, heated to 1000 ° C. An explosion will break out, after which zero visibility will be established on the planet. There will be a surge of unprecedented seismic activity, dormant volcanoes will wake up. The ocean is literally heaving. The water will rise 20-30 km and cause a rain of biblical power. All coasts will be flooded for hundreds and thousands of kilometers. A threat will hang over New York, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires. We have Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Murmansk, Arkhangelsk,”Zharvin shared his apocalyptic forecast.
However, the end of the world should not be expected now, but in a few decades, in 2030-2070. However, this is very approximate. “The process is very poorly studied. You need to watch the rate of melting of the Greenland glacier. It may melt earlier, maybe this year. I would raise the question where we will evacuate the population of St. Petersburg, Pskov, Veliky Novgorod, Arkhangelsk, Murmansk and other cities,”Nikolai Zharvin said.
Mikhail Rukin, also a researcher at Moscow State University, has a less “blood-longed” opinion: “The eruption in Iceland is a natural process. Two major water surface anomalies were found between Iceland and Britain, and one in the Australian region. The whole restructuring began in 1908, when a large explosion occurred in Altai, as a result the half of the mountain was cut off like a knife. Seismicity on the planet will increase, especially in China and Australia. This is due to the fact that the Earth changes its orbit. By about 2012 this process will come to an end”.
Rukin did not clarify whether what is happening has anything to do with the predictions of the Mayans, which are believed to have called 2012 a turning point in the history of the planet.
