Weird. I know exactly where that is from driving the Ring Road. Wondered about that building since it's obviously a greenhouse. In the states that would be pot, but there it isn't necessarily.

BTW, Iceland is a fantastic place to visit and tour. We rented a car and drove the perimeter for about 2+ weeks and immediately made plans to return (thwarted by weather). Lovely.

I took a look at this video, actually pretty well-done except for the voice-over. The biggest difference, in my opinion, between the Naples area volcanoes and the two Kurt mentioned in the US is recurrence. Vesuvius and Campi Flegrei have had a slew of historic eruption events and numerous events in the last 40,000 years, thus they have a much, much shorter recurrence interval than the US supervolcanoes. Additionally, the magma composition is a bit different, the US volcanoes tend to be more silica rich (toward rhyolite) composition than the Italian counterparts. Finally, the population density around the Italian volcanoes is way, way greater than LV or Yellowstone. That may not matter much because the eruptive fallout for all of these volcanoes will extend for hundreds of miles beyond the eruptive centers. There is a ton of scientific literature about all of these eruptives. I encourage you to look at those, especially the abstracts and conclusions.

if you can stay awake, that youtube channel does a pretty good job of reporting
obviously, the sarcasm of the original post is mine
but who builds a home in a volcano?

ha, thx for the comment on the article. Glad you read it.  

re global warming .. this topic comes up frequently on the boards of the sites I follow. I put my reply over on the GW thread.

KFLQ- You are right, they are sources of catastrophic eruptions. Either of those going off would have immense implications for US and globe. Truth is the recurrence intervals (time between events) are very large (hundreds of thousands of years). It’s been about 700,000 years since the last major eruption at either Yellowstone or Long Valley. I’m a probability kind of guy. In the remainder of my lifetime the likelihood of me hitting the giant powerball is much greater than those volcanoes erupting. It could happen but I’m not losing sleep over it. I hope I’m right.
