Even a large event is not big enough to require a mass evacuation of the island. Since events in this area can continue for a long time, it could eventually lead to relocating the capital, which is located far from the island’s center, but 25 miles from the location of eruption.
Oops, I forgot to include this link.
As a H-A conservative, you might appreciate how they handled the 2008 bank meltdown. They refused to rescue their banksters, let them fail and reconstructed their economy from there. So you might want to Google “Iceland bank failures, 2008”.
Looks like the capital of Iceland had better get ready to rumble.
A Dunkirk type of evacuation? The population is currently 342,000.
338,226 were evacuated from Dunkirk.
Same thing, just no Nazis. ;^)
Don’t they have roads leading away from the Capital and the volcano? Of course it could be rough if it was raining. I remember seeing pictures in the Pinatubo area of people fleeing their cities with rain and mud falling on them and their vehicles. They really looked miserable. Thank goodness the Clark base had been evacuated earlier except for the volcano watch people. This is a fissure event, not a volcano explosion. The most famous fissure event was the Laki Fissure in 1783. It went on for months over several miles of fissure. Eventually it killed about 10,000 Icelanders, and 90% of the livestock. I think a lot of the people died of starvation. It also caused poor harvests in Europe and may have helped trigger the French Revolution.
Thanks, interesting info.
Ya know, I’ve had my eye lids freeze shut running dogteam down the Yukon at minus 65. You bite mitten and with forefinger and thumb break the ice off eyelids so you can open them. Spent 21 years up near Eagle until retiring in Fairbanks. Was still minus 30 at night last week.
You are the real deal.
I am aware that four hours north of Toronto is actually pretty tropical compared to most parts of Canada and some parts of the U.S. However, very few people live in these places. That said, we still have ice fishing going on here.
I remember -80 (F) (with wind chill) in Wyoming.
