Strange, I could only see the top of her head but now a little more is loading. not bad art...
Well, it might not be as immemint as all that.
“Magnus Gudmundsson, a geophysicist at the University of Iceland, who has been monitoring Katla, explained to Icelandic media that increased levels of heat under the glacier and more regular earthquakes could be a long-term warning of an eruption; however, there are no immediate signs to be concerned about.”
Just what we need - the Canary Islands to blow and Iceland to explode.
Atlantic Tsunamis R Us.

That would kill the price of Myrtle Beach real estate, wouldn’t it?
Makes you glad you didn’t grow up in Iceland with the teacher handing you a list of spelling words to learn each week, doesn’t it?
“of course it is.”
Well, none of us can pronounce it.
Just for the one season;)
I cannot see the word “Iceland” without thinking of one of my oldest friends. This guy had a way with girls which was unbelievable absolutely incredible.
More than 40 years ago we worked together at a mountain retreat which employed a large number of college students. During that first Summer he dated Miss New Mexico. One day he told me he was going to wait until he was in his 60’s to get married and then was going to marry a model from Iceland.
Now if anyone else had told me that, I would have dismissed it as nonsense but he really meant it. Over the years I have seen him pick up girls, beautiful girls, effortlessly. We would see a girl in the mall, and he would go over and talk to her. Within a few minutes he would have a date with her. I saw him do the same thing once with a gorgeous blonde who was playing tennis on the court next to us.
He dated a former Miss Universe. He showed me pictures of them and I thought Miss New Mexico was actually prettier.
A couple of years ago he did in fact marry a twenty something year old model but she is Chinese instead of Icelandic so I guess he failed in his ultimate quest.
What will it do to Netflix stock?
She sure is attractive but looks like she might not be real friendly.
Katla could be a jobs killer.
Why isn’t there an “Occupy Katla” movement there?
(And somebody needs to make sure that they stay up there even during the eruption).
Something else for Obama to blame his failure on.
That can be replied to in so many ways, but I can’t pick the right one!

If it's big enough it could affect the food supply of the whole world. Not having a job could be a minor concern.
LOL. That crossed my mind too...I thought, tsunamis in the dark.
Thanks so much for this story. I have a large collection of anecdotes about Icelanders and this is just the thing that interests me. Who knew it would show on FR, though?
My friend had been in the Navy and I think he was stationed in Iceland for a while. He fell in love with the girls who he described as the most beautiful in the world.
A very large percentage are blondes. Now that I think about it, he had blonde hair himself. I think the reason he ended up with a Chinese Beauty instead was that even he at age 65 was no longer able to just get about any girl he wanted. The fact that he drove a Rolls Royce probably didn’t hurt.
