Ive seen lots of posts about the recent nature disasters here in OTL like EQ in china and tsunami in indonesia etc, but when nature disasters happens further up north, no1 cares about it exept the countrys affected

I see topics about the EQs in china and stuff before i even see it in the papers here, and now with the crisis on iceland with the volcano erruption, no topics? dont you care for the northern part of the world? or is EQ more interesting than volcanoes?

(this is not a rant thread or anything like that, just a simple question:P)
