It's 2012 and according to the Mayan calendar we're all going to die in December. But for me that could happen even earlier. A sleeping super-volcano in Germany is showing worrying signs of waking up. It's lurking underneath the tranquil Laacher See lake between Bonn and Koblenz and is capable of ejecting billions of tons of magma.
