Iceland Volcano Erupts,sign of #doomsday?

Iceland's most active volcano has started erupting, is this one of the signs of the said dooms day? Although the deadline already past, some still speculate about this.

A report from Huffington read below,

scientists said Saturday that just over a year after another eruption on the North Atlantic island shut down European air traffic for days.


Iceland's Meteorological Office confirmed that an eruption had begun at the Grimsvotn volcano, accompanied by a series of small earthquakes. Smoke could be seen rising from the volcano, which lies under the uninhabited Vatnajokull glacier in southeast Iceland.


A no fly zone has been designated for 120 nautical miles (220 kilometers) in all directions from the eruption. Isavia, the company that operates and develops all airport facilities and air navigation services in Iceland, described this as standard procedure around eruptions.


"The plume of smoke has reached jet flying altitude and plans have been made for planes flying through Icelandic air control space to fly southwardly tonight," said Hjordis Gudmundsdottir, the spokeswoman for Isavia.
