ICELAND – The Fagradalsfjall Volcano is about to erupt!
There have been 1,485 earthquakes in 48 hours and residents are preparing for an eruption.
It will dump more Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere than all humans put together.

ICELAND – The Fagradalsfjall Volcano
Could it be the Hellisheiði Geothermal Power Plant? It has been responsible in times past for earthquakes…
Published August 17, 2021
“Scientists at Orku Náttúrunnar (ON) believe these quakes were caused by an injection of geothermal water from the power plant. Vísir reports that geothermal water from the plant is pumped back into the ground after it has been harnessed to generate electricity and hot water for use in the capital area. This process is used as it increases sustainability and lessens the environmental impact of producing power.” More @ Source
