Gnorts, Vorts!

Just as the Three Mile Island incident followed "The China Sydrome",
Iceland's volcano mimics "The Scream":

The blood red sky of Edvard Munch's masterpiece may represent the
results of a volcano eruption; but, it hangs in my office to represent
my emotional state trying to play consultant to a bankrupt transit
system.

BTW, Eyjafjallajökull in the past has preceded the eruption of the far
more dangerous Katla:

Excerpt:

"Eyjafjallajokull has blown three times in the past thousand years,"
Dr McGarvie told The Times, "in 920AD, in 1612 and between 1821 and
1823. Each time it set off Katla." The likelihood of Katla blowing
could become clear "in a few weeks or a few months", he said.

A temporary respite from global warming?
