Hot in Iceland




Mention Iceland and one who would conjure up images of glaciers, snow, ice spreads on houses, trees and people moving about with cold proof thick attires. No, certainly not volcanoes, fires, smokes, ashes and people running away in fear. That’s what has happened recently in Iceland. Iceland became more aptly ‘Fireland’!

What is happening to the world? Is this some sort of a hint of worse things to come? Flights were halted. Humans waited helplessly. The world was affected, just by this incident from just a tiny area of the earth!

That tiny area is in itself a mouthful – Eyjafjallajokull! The volcano beneath this glacier is the cause of this pessimistic utterance. Having been dormant for 200 years it suddenly erupted after midnight of Saturday 20, March 2010, ripping a 1 km long fissure in a field of ice. Authorities evacuated 400 people in the vicinity not because of the fear of the volcanic larva ash flowing down upon them but of the fear of flood from the meltdown of the glacier! What a turn around!

Things are becoming funny in this world of ours, don’t they?
