eija-fjatla-joe-kytl

so after a long hiatus on this blog, I decided to try to write something, at least to keep me sane, hehehehehe...

so have you guys heard of the volcanic eruption in Iceland? yeah..never thought there would be any volcano there eh? as to me, studying geology tells me that the geology of Iceland is actually an island plump, much like Hawaii, except that the island situated above a rift (what?!)

to many contrary believe, Iceland is not just..well, ice, Iceland has numerous geothermal activities such as the hot geysers, which doesn't make any sense to call it "Iceland"..(wonder how there get the name Iceland in the first place?)

is it normal to have 9 volcanoes in 1 island? and that just the main one

anyway, on the weekend last week, a volcano name, Mount Eyjafjallajokull (yes, that is it's name, pronounce eija-fjatla-joe-kytl) erupted, causing major trouble to the people in Europe, the eruption causes airline in Europe to a halt, no in or out of the continent, which is pretty damn-pain-in-the-ass for thousands of people..but nothing can be done..

the mountain look pretty, if its not engulf in lava and toxic ashes

however, recent news, suggest, minimal airline travels are now allowed..but lets be realistic here, flying while there's a hot, sharp edges ashes that could potentially bring airplanes down? I DON''T THINK SO

but that's not the worse part, after the initial explosion has stop, toxic gas are now traveling across the continent which could harm all living things, especially cows, wait..no..humans..humans and cows..

see..told you cows are important too!

World Health Organization or WHO..has issued a statement that potential health respiratory danger could happen across Europe (man this isn't a good time to be in Europe)..

however, there is something good from all this chaos and probably potential life ending situation, great photos emerged from the explosion of the volcano! credits to this pages and more photos can be seen there, credits also to the people that risk their AWESOME life to get this pics

if you're a fan of Lord Of The Rings, doesn't this look like a scene from Mount Doom to you?

if it wasn't for the fact a volcano just erupted, this could be an awesome ad for a car tyre

can you see the lightning in there?awesome huh?

sebab pernah ada kes terjadi kapal terbang terjatuh kat udara, and kena buat emergency landing pada tahun 1982 kat indon sebab ada volcano erupted dulu. sebab ni dorang cuak dah.

"The perils of volcanic ash are well known to pilots and airline operators. After the 1982 eruption of the Galunggung volcano in Indonesia, for example, a Boeing 747 flying to Australia from Malaysia lost power in all four engines because of ash and descended to 12,500 feet from 36,000 feet before pilots could restart the engines and make an emergency landing in Indonesia."
