And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Reykjavik Volcano Geyser, Lava 1100 Feet In The Air - Terrific Sound. What a worrisome view from Downtown Reykjavik.
And we were there just a year ago. All we did was freeze our butts off on the standard tours, pay ungodly amounts for a hamburger and fight the crowds at the Blue Lagoon. That! would have been worth the price of admission ;>}
When you're alone and life is making you lonely You can always go - downtown. When you've got worries all the noise and the hurry Seems to help I know downtown. Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty How can you lose? The lights are much brighter there You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares So go downtown Things will be great when you're downtown No finer place for sure downtown Everything's waiting for you.
So..how many eruptions are ongoing in Iceland right now? Is this one Fagradalsfjall caldera, or is it from the new Geldingadalir caldera on the other side of the mountain? I was thinking there is only one active lava flow at the moment, but I am also reading there is a lot of earthquake activity at the other Icelandic volcanoes that might be signalling the onset of new activity.
only 10 miles of terra firma between us and a ocean of liquid rock 10,000deg F. Pretty cool, huh?
