RVK Newscast

The volcano in Geldingadalir is becoming even weirder and has now transformed into a kind of fire geyser. Currently, all of the craters have now dried up except the one scientists call Number Five. And said crater is behaving like a geyser, spewing lava and fire into the air. When we were there, the lava fountain reached probably over 200 metres and it’s clear that the volcano area is transforming even more than we expected.

This started another round of cold, rain, gropple, snow plus Thundersnow! And a Partrige in a pear tree (quail really)! I gave up taking the garbage out, put my nighty back on and went back to bed!
