I-alamu ebomvu yezindiza e-Europe esebenzayo kusukela namuhla. I-Iceland inyuse isexwayiso sayo sezindiza ngentaba-mlilo yaze yaba bomvu kakhulu ngoMgqibelo, okukhombisa ukuqhuma okungadala “ukukhipha umlotha emkhathini.” Okubomvu yisexwayiso esiphezulu kakhulu esikalini samaphuzu amahlanu.
I-Iceland ihlezi endaweni eshisayo yentaba-mlilo endaweni ephakathi nolwandle lwe-Atlantic futhi ukuqhuma kwenzeke kaningi, okubangelwa lapho amapuleti oMhlaba enyakaza nalapho i-magma esuka ekujuleni komhlaba iphusha indlela yayo ibheke phezulu.
Ukuqhuma kwentaba-mlilo i-Eyjafjallajokul ngo-2010 kwaveza ifu lomlotha eladala isonto lezinxushunxushu zezindiza zamazwe ngamazwe, kwakhanselwa izindiza ezingaphezu kuka-100,000. Abalawuli bezindiza selokhu baguqule izinqubomgomo mayelana nokundiza emlotheni, ngakho ukuqhuma okusha bekungeke kwenzeke kubangele ukuphazamiseka okungaka.
Ihhovisi le-Meteorological Office e-Iceland namuhla lithi kuyaqhubeka ukuqhuma kwentaba-mlilo i-Bardarbunga, ehlaselwe izinkulungwane zokuzamazama komhlaba ngesonto eledlule.
Isazi se-vulcanologist uMelissa Pfeffer uthe idatha yokuzamazama komhlaba ikhombisa ukuthi udaka lwentaba-mlilo luncibilikisa iqhwa ngaphansi kweqhwa laseVatnajokull. Uthe akucaci ukuthi ukuqhuma kuzoncibilikisa nini iqhwa futhi kuthumele isitimu nomlotha emoyeni.
