When I first heard about it, I was very skeptical. Katla tends to erupt within a few years of the neighbouring volcano Eyja (as it did in 2010). I know the potential for Katla to explode/erupt but have heard nothing about rumblings. So I checked the USGS earthquake site last week and guess what - NADA. Not even tiny earthquakes have been recorded in the last 30 days. So yes, the article is totally sensationalistic and garbage journalism.
