TORRENTS of water are pouring from a glacier that sits atop Iceland's most active volcano, an indication that the mountain may be about to erupt, scientists said yesterday.
The flood that began last Thursday at the Grimsvotn volcano is similar to one in 2004 that ended with an eruption that disrupted European air traffic, University of Iceland geophysicist Pall Einarsson said.
In April, millions of air travelers around the world were grounded when ash from the Eyjafjallajokul volcano led most northern European countries to close airspace for five days.
