The eruptions show the challenge faced by the island country of nearly 400,000 people, as scientists warn that the Reykjanes peninsula could face repeated events for decades or even centuries.

I blame trump or brexit for this event 🙄
As terrifying as this is it also really beautiful and super cool

Climate Scientist know next to nothing about the decadal and millennium impact of volcanic eruptions on the climate.
Ice core evidence for major volcanic eruptions at the onset of Dansgaard-Oeschger warming events
"We hypothesize that this asymmetric response to volcanic eruptions may be a result of the direct influence of volcanic cooling on the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, which is widely regarded as the main climate subsystem involved in Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles."
"The analysis presented suggests that large eruptions may act as short-term triggers for large-scale abrupt climate change, and may explain part of the variability of Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles."
I hope iceland is being hammered in green taxes over this ?! The amount of carbon these are emitting is off the scale !!
Blame Trump, and make him pay all compensation for damages. That’s the left wing view
You cant park there.
All the oilbots should look into how Iceland uses thermal energy.
A wall of fire, what some want at the US-Mexico border.
Two short stout fellows were just arrested on the way up the mountain. In possession of a stolen gold ring.
Build a power station ontop of this and convert it all to electricity, to charge up the worlds needs for electric cars,
countries, don't send me a penny for anything, or anyone else, please.
Full speed ahead
Tourist destination I am coming
This is very terrifying
I COULD NOT CARE LESS
Can we surf the lava?
the country is literally splitting apart
