The Iceland volcano with the unpronounceable and unspellable name has me thinking about mini-ice ages.

At least I'm not the only one.

The last time this volcano had a serious eruption, it lasted more than a year, and it did have an effect on global weather.

Volcanoes are my favorite geological entity. I'm slightly geeky about them. Moving to Washington three days before Mt. St. Helens went postal was what kicked it off, but I get all giddy whenever I hear about Pinatubo or Merapi or any of the others out there blowing their tops.

But, c'mon. How can I not be geeked up over Eyjafjallajökull? The ash plume can be seen from space. It spews fire, smoke, ash, lava... and lightning.

It's just fucking awesome.
