Not wild trees, two trees in the farmyard.

The houses are built of wood though.
Buildings are usually made of locally available materials so it just strikes me as strange that so many Icelandic buildings would be wooden rather than be made of some sort of local stone.

The residence is possibly made of wood, imported wood. The barn and livestock houses are made of cement and clad (if clad at all) in corrugated iron.

Having a chimney and the relatively modern scandinavian design (look at the windows) suggests that the residence might be a norwegian package house.

Ok, could you be kind enough to be done with it and sink that island already?

kthxbye

do you really want to get into the "who would you rather sink into the sea, iceland or hungary?" debate already.. you know you will lose.

What 'sea' would you sink Hungary into?  Lake Balaton?

:hmm: An inland sea in central Europe would be pretty neat though.  Romania would get like ten times as much snowfall annually. :menace:

The clear east euro candidate to sink and form a sea is Poland. They have a coast to get the water from, and would form a buffer between Russi and the civilized world

Wouldn't that fuck up sea levels world wide leaving most harbors out to dry?

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

If Poland sinks, Russia would have to go through Hungary to invade Europe.

See you in the Battle of Budapest, version 3.0. Will you be carrying some sort of uniform to make your identification easier?

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

Well, the eruption is fast dying down now and ash column is now so low that the ejecta is just being deposited around the immediate area itself and on the glacier.
