[News] Area of Iceland being torn apart by volcanic activity

[Justice]

And Great Britain is a bit shit

A bit

Geology O-Level was my only science qualification at school, but I did find it fascinating learning about volcanoes/lava flows, plate-tectonics/earthquakes, glaciers, etc. It helped enormously that the teacher was great; really inspiring.

I guess that is the downside of cheap heat and hot water from the natural sources.

Same.
I dived straight into geology as I just didn't get the urban side of geography.

Now, some 35 years later, I find them both equally fascinating, with urban geography probably shading it as that's the one we're really getting wrong.

Eruption happened at 10.17pm last night according to reports from the Icelandic Met Office after a swarm of minor tremors increased in magnitude from 9pm onwards. Main earthquake (4.2) on the Reykjanes seems to have occurred about 10.00pm, followed by another quake or large aftershock (4.1) at around 11.30m - aftershocks have eased off this morning

Something... Something... Something... Cycle lanes?

Which section of Iceland is affected ?

This is a great time-lapse of the first 20 or so minutes of the eruption, and shows how the fissure extends to the south pretty rapidly.

It's off again this morning. Similar spot to last time, just to the North of Grindavik

I'm currently watching a live stream of the lava flowing over one the local roads.

Is that digger going to move?!

 

[Bozza]

That fella wants to get his digger out of there.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

He has retreated. Just in the nick of time.

 

[KZNSeagull]

There is still someone there running up and down near that pile the digger was working on.
Edit: They have now retreated!

 

[Bozza]

Another chap just wandering about on foot though. Like you do.

Willing to bet one English Pound that the barrier thing he built does f*** all.

[Papa Lazarou]

About to say the same. Rubbish

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Probably they had to leave because of some woke health and safety law they have up there. It's political correctness gone mad

The ECHR have a LOT to answer for.

I expect them to return with a fire extinguisher shortly - that'll stop it.
