The area immediately north of the seismic activity has been evacuated, everybody's battened down the hatches and now we wait to see if the damn thing dosen't calm down. I was going to go to Grágæsadalur with gramps and the boys on Friday but the whole area is a no-go for now.  :hmm:

Well not many people live in that part of the country.... fortunately....

Is that a wee island full of people I spy off the south west coast? Interesting.

My parents claim that large numbers of people in Iceland believe in the literal existence of elves and trolls (not the internet kind  ;) ).

Is this true, or bullshit?

It's a game we play for the tourists. But there are still people alive who belive.

I more or less suspected they were being had.  :D

They did the tourist thing last year. They enjoyed it a lot.

For some reason Icelandair has started a direct Edmonton-Rejkjavik flight (with the idea you then take a connecting flight to anywhere in Europe), but now a bunch of people I know are going to Iceland. :hmm:

Found an alternative cabin in the area where the chance of death by glacial flashflood is minimal.

Dunk the entire country in ice water.


BTW, if you guys have seen Prometheus, the scene at the start where the engineer creates whatever, next to the waterfall.. well that place will be flooded if the glacial flood happens.

How can we accomplish this amazing feat?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Can we ensure that the makers of Prometheus are there when this happens?  :hmm:
