OHIT'S HAPPENING NO! AG AIN! It’s happening again! OH NO! Iceland: Successfully trolling the rest of the world since (at least) 1000 BC People usually don't fret when Iceland's most active volcano, Grímsvötn, starts spewing a little lava. After all, it happens every few years—volcanic activity is a fact of life on our remote rock in the North-Atlantic, and has been since way before any life forms made it there. When Grímsvötn did its usual thing last week, however, people got pretty spooked... and who can blame them, what with last year's Eyjamafjalladoodadodahecronöküll troubles and all? We report what went down, and share some interesting eruption truths.
