A review of "Nova: Doomsday Volcanoes"
This is the kind of stuff that might turn you into
"fun house material". Welcome to Iceland, the land of nice tourist
guides, inviting hot springs and...ahem...doomsday volcanoes.
These goddesses of death - with bizarre names like Laki, Hekla, Katla and Eyjafjallajökull - are ready to explode sky high at any time. When they do, a hundred thousand people in Europe might die of poisonous sulphuric smog. The fate of North America won't be much better if the winds turn in *that* particular direction. At the very least, we'll get a new economic recession with stock exchanges plummeting around the Western world.
I watched this documentary after consuming a really spicy dish and an energy drink. Almost scared me stiff. But seriously...it seems we just got one more thing to worry about. OK, how do you get off this planet? And please cancel that real estate deal at Reykjavik, will you. :-O
