`images taken by an Icelandic Coast Guard's surveillance flight appeared to show the eruption taking place at a location near the Dec. 18 eruption, official said.

And how much carbon emissions are coming from that single volcano?
I wonder if the Blue Lagoon is still open...
If the Icelanders weren’t white, we could make room for them in America.
Maybe if they eat more bugs and pay more taxes the volcanoes will quit erupting.
EVs might be the way to go in Iceland. If I were an EV manufacturer I would include an optional kerosene heater for those living in cold climates. This heater would also burn diesel fuel that is available at most gas stations. Due to the EPA our diesel fuel is very clean and very low sulfur.
Renewable energy for EVs in Iceland? >>>>>>
Iceland is a shining example of sustainable energy practices. 100% of its electricity is generated using renewable energy sources. Here’s how they achieve this remarkable feat:
Hydroelectric Power: Much of Iceland’s electricity comes from hydroelectric power stations. One of the oldest hydroelectric plants, Írafossstöð, has been operating since 1953. These stations harness the power of flowing water to generate electricity. In fact, 70% of Iceland’s electricity is hydro-powered1.
Geothermal Energy: Iceland taps into its unique geothermal resources. The country sits atop a volcanic hotspot, allowing it to access geothermal energy.
Around 30% of Iceland’s electricity is produced from geothermal sources. They drill deep into the Earth’s crust to extract superheated water and steam, which drives turbines to generate power12.
Wind Power: While wind energy is still in its early stages, Iceland has made strides. In 2013, a pilot wind power project was installed, featuring two 77-meter-high turbines with a combined output of 1.8 megawatts. Plans are underway to expand wind power capacity both onshore and offshore1.
Minimal Fossil Fuels: Iceland’s commitment to renewable energy means that less than 0.02% of its electricity comes from fossil fuels (specifically, fuel oil). This impressive reliance on clean energy sets an inspiring example for the world1.
In summary, Iceland’s electricity generation is a harmonious blend of hydro, geothermal, and emerging wind power, making it a global leader in sustainable energy practices. 🌍⚡

Bump
The cluster continues.
This is more about keeping the Boiling Lagoon open than helping the people of Grindavik.
The government had fifty years to plan for an eventuality like this and refused to do so.
And it clearly sucks at doing it on the fly.
Not to mention that the tiny population's tiny economy is a mess and there's no money for natural disasters.
What Iceland needs is its own Trump.
And so far it ain't got one.
Looks like Iceland has incoming...
Is the Boiling Lagoon still open..? 🤔

Bruised but the employee is on the mend
Bruised may be a translation issue. Note that the guy working the backhoe didn't have a mask or a meter. WTG, Iceland!
The number of foreign nationals increased by almost three thousand

In a country of about 400,000.

Interesting update. The geothermal plant staff have been evacuated due to changes in the readings from the boreholes...

Nobody’s saying eruption is imminent.
Abundance of caution, blah, blah, blah...
