Icelanders plan for next eruption at Katla volcano
Seismologists monitor Katla after years of rising activity as residents of Vik brace for the possibility of an eruption. Katla last erupted in 1918, with most past events clustered between September and November due to glacial melt. In an eruption scenario a text alert would reach all 543 residents directing them to the church for shelter.
