Icelanders in the country’s capital Reykjavik have been warned that gas pollution is likely to head their way ‘within hours’.

Residents in the town of Grindavik were evacuated last month after thousands of earthquakes hinted that the Fagradalsfjall volcano was about to blow.

And it finally did just that last night, sending 330-foot-high lava fountains spurting into the sky out of a 4km-long fissure stretching across Sundhnúkagígar.

Can you imagine how much force must be necessary in order to throw giant plumes of lava 330 feet into the air?

For those that were traveling to and from Iceland at the time of the eruption, it certainly looked like “the gates of hell” had opened up…

Holidaymakers watched the gates of hell open up beneath them as they took-off and landed in Iceland during the nation’s volcanic eruption that sent molten lava spewing into the black sky from fissures in the ground.

Astonishing footage showed holidaymakers bound for Suomi in Finland flying over the volcano, with rivers of orange magma flowing over Iceland in a spectacular show of Earth’s power in the land known for fire and ice.

Other tourists on board an Icelander flight from Keflavik airport to Berlin and another to Copenhagen were this morning met with the same astonishing views, with the molten lava seen spewing into the air from below and snaking its way across the Reykjanes peninsula.

From a safe distance, this eruption is definitely quite beautiful.

But what does this tell us about what is happening deep inside our planet right now?

For those that once lived in that area, life will never be the same again.

We are being told that this is a “worst-case scenario” because this eruption has happened very close to a very important geothermal power plant…

A volcano in the southwestern region of Iceland erupted on Monday, sending geysers of hot lava as high as 330 feet. The eruption was located near the Svartsengi geothermal power plant near the town of Grindavík, which was evacuated last month over an increase in seismic activity, the NY Times reports.

“We are looking at a worst-case scenario,” said Icelanding volcanologist, Thorvaldur Thordarson, adding “The eruption appears big, and only about two kilometers from major infrastructure.“

Meanwhile, northern China was just hit by a magnitude 6.2 earthquake, and more than 100 deaths have already been confirmed…

The Chinese Communist Party has documented the deaths of 127 people as of press time Tuesday and hundreds of injuries as a result of a series of earthquakes in northern Gansu province, the largest of which measured 6.2 magnitude.

The death toll already makes it the deadliest earthquake in China since 2010 and is expected to grow as several of the injured are in critical condition and many locals are missing under rubble.

Have you noticed that large quakes have been popping off all over the planet in recent months?

This is not normal.

It is being reported that this was “China’s deadliest earthquake in years”, and a tremendous amount of damage has been done because it struck a highly populated area…

Nearly the entire local population was indoors at the time of the quake because it happened in the middle of the night…

The largest earthquake reportedly struck around 3 a.m. local time – meaning most people were in their homes when it occurred – and reportedly destroyed “thousands” of residences, leaving thousands displaced in the dead of winter. Gansu is located in north-central China, bordering Inner Mongolia and typically experiences brutally cold winters.

Unfortunately, this is just the beginning.

There will be a lot more major earthquakes.

And there will be a lot more unusual volcanic eruptions.

A lot of people, including myself, are convinced that all of this shaking is related to the dramatic increase in solar activity that we have been witnessing.

Just days ago, the sun unleashed a giant flare which was “likely one of the largest solar radio events ever recorded”…

“This is likely one of the largest solar radio events ever recorded,” NOAA wrote Thursday in a report regarding the flare, which is caused by localized explosions on the sun’s surface that expel intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation.

The alarming solar event occurred Thursday after an active sunspot named AR 3514 erupted with a large class X.28 solar flare — the most powerful variety that the sun is capable of producing, as seen in ominous photos captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.

It was the most intense blast our star had generated since September 2017.

This solar cycle has been far more intense than the experts were anticipating. And this solar cycle isn’t even supposed to peak until next year at the earliest.

I am expecting even more solar chaos during the months ahead, and that will likely mean an even higher level of seismic activity all over the planet.

So buckle up and hold on tight, because there is going to be a whole lot of shaking going on.
