| Lava explodes from the Hekla volcano in an unpopulated area about 93 miles (150 kilometers) southeast of Iceland's capital Reykjavik on Sunday February 27, 2000. According to one expert the volcano, which has been quiet for sixteen years, could explode soon |
- The Hekla volcano is expected to erupt soon, according to one expert
- It has been quiet for 16 years and an eruption will cause a 'major disaster'
- 20 to 30 planes fly over the volcano every day and these could be at risk
- But it is 'very unlikely' to produce an ash cloud as large as the one in 2010
