Game of Thrones cause Katla eruption scare

Icelandic emergency services were surprised to receive several reports of a possible eruption beginning in the Katla volcano. Both locals and volcano nerds around the world who keep an eye on the Katla webcam reported peculiar lights high up on the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, which covers the volcano. Although the earthquake monitors have shown a lot of activity recently, nothing interesting was showing up at this moment. After a bit more research, they discovered that the lights were from the film crew of Game of Thrones who were filming up on the glacier.
