Volcano Erupts in Iceland

After a ground-shaking event happened to China two days ago, a volcano erupts in the idyllic Iceland on the same day. The FIMMVORDUHALS Volcano near the EYJAFJALLAJOKULL glacier in Iceland spewed ash clouds and steam. People in Iceland fear for flood because the eruption can cause the melting of ice.

People are being evacuated to safety in the event another major eruption occurs. This is the second time the volcano erupted in less than a month.

What's going on?

The Disappearing "Places"

Being a travel bug, I have already made my own list of places to see before I reach 60 or before that place totally disappear from the face of the earth, which ever comes first... Kidding aside, these places are not going to disappear but may be closed for public due to erosion, wear and tear condition, pollution, development in infrastructure, exploitation of the place by not providing sanctioned tourist guidelines to follow when visiting these places and neglect from humanity. These places are taken from Frommers' 500 Places To See Before They Disappear.

1. Taj Mahal
2. Lord Howe Island
3. Pyramids of Giza
4. Gu Gong, China
5. Little Green Street in England
6. Hill of Tara, Ireland

These are just few in the list. To know more, you have the get the book ;)
