we volcano eruption addicts live all over the world and ouir kids also know that. i had got to sleep early that night, which I do not so often and woke up by a message of my son (29) living in another town and obviously always on guard with the right live cam. Sending me a link with the words "it happens", weeka after my return from iceland says all. The night was over. Addiction let me watch the whole night and heart everyone on insta who made those fabulous pictures with drones, with cameras for the press. I love you ALL

Last week, somewhere, I read a quote from a US emergency worker who was very pleased at how Icelanders actually follow advice to evacuate and such.

Iceland is beautiful. It also is trying to kill people. I remember having dismounted on a horse ride, looking down, and seeing that the puddle 10 cm from my left foot was boiling.

I was a bit more careful about where exactly I was stepping after that.

Very interesting to know how it feels for you, the residents, to experience such natural phenomena. Endure and adapt, I guess this is a good lesson from iceland for all of us, who don't share the same experience. Take care!
