I believe the upheavals in the Arctic are related to the recent melting of the polar ice caps. Six are currently listed at this site and one more not yet listed just occurred in Japan. All of these volcanic eruptions are in the torrid areas of the globe. I believe there are only a few prophesized events remaining to happen before the pole shift. These events are related to the Middle East and the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
War is very close to happening in the Middle East.
Today Israel suspended the peace negotiations. Barak and Arafat cannot come to an agreement over control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Saddam Hussein is threatening Kuwait again. Keep in mind that Saddam is dying of lymphatic cancer. Faced with his impending death, Saddam could be even tougher to deal with.
