<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">ArabiaWeather.com - Nasser Haddad - There does not seem to be a glimmer of hope about the end of the <strong>&quot;Bardarbanga&quot;</strong> volcano crisis in Iceland, as gases and lava have been emitted for three months.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The lava covered nearly 70 square kilometers - exceeding the area of American Manhattan -, and 200 earthquakes were recorded during the last 3 days (8-10 November), the strongest of which was on the evening of 9 November; It measured 5.2 on the Richter scale.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Returning to the archives, we find that the Laki volcano erupted in 1783 and continued to erupt for a period of 7-8 months, causing the expansion of lava over an area estimated at 600 square kilometers and the death of a quarter of the population of Iceland, and that is not from the direct impact of the volcano, but rather from the famine that cause it.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Related topics:</strong></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="http://www.arabiaweather.com/content/بارداربنجا-البركان-الذي-يقبع-أسفل-صفيحة-جليدية"><strong>Bardarbanga .. the volcano that lies at the bottom of an ice sheet!</strong></a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="http://www.arabiaweather.com/content/انبعاث-35-ألف-طن-من-غاز-الكبريت-يومياً-من-بركان-بارداربنجا-بآيسلندا"><strong>Emission of 35 thousand tons of sulfur gas per day from the Bardarbanja volcano in Iceland</strong></a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="http://www.arabiaweather.com/content/مُصور-محترف-يلتقط-أروع-المشاهد-لثورة-بركان-جبل-الأرواح"><strong>A professional photographer captures the most amazing scenes of the Mount Spirits volcano eruption</strong></a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p>
