Eruption in my pants

Outstanding news from Iceland. Geophysicist Freysteinn Sigmundsson from University of Iceland predicts that Hekla volcano could erupt at any minute:

"...the pressure in the lava chamber below the volcano is similar now to immediately before the last Hekla eruption."

I sure hope the eruption will take place. Without any hesitation, seeing a volcano eruption, or just to sense the atmosphere near Hekla, would be the most tremendous experience for me so far.

However, it's not a done deal. Freysteinn continues:

"...it remains almost impossible to accurately predict volcanic eruptions".

P.S. Also, if you're excited (or just bored) you can watch live video from Hekla.
