the fissure is still extending along the valley and is now both sides of the defensive berm protecting the town.

Back in Sussex
Wouldn't be happening if it became another state of America
I wish someone would send Donald Trump over there.

Does anyone know the scale of the images in 36A? I.e. the distance from the camera to the leading edge of the lava?

I mean, if you will choose to live on a giant volcanic rock...

(visited Iceland and it is brilliant and I recommend it to anyone, especially in winter time).

A new fissure has opened up a little further South, just past the greenhouse .

Well, only half of Iceland sits on the Americas plate, the rest is on the European plate.

He’d don his ‘intelligent face’ and say ‘this is a very hot lava they have there, I mean really hot but nobody deals with hot lava better than I can’ - He’ll claim to be the King Canute of lava flow 🙂

Not realising that Canute did it to show that even a king can't stop the tides

" You know I looked in to it one time, I was at a party and someone said some very interesting things about lava.... did you know there were many, several types of lava ? they have viscosity you know ? its the stuff they put in Women's tights and stockings... ? Iceland well, strange name when its so hot there now eh ? not good marketing is it ? so, they have all this viscous stuff but the women wear trousers there isn't that strange ? "

Trump/Vance: "Fake News. This is not molten lava. It's God's own earth spewing its disgust at the radical Left and Commie Kamala. Y'know, that's what they're saying, even some of the biggliest scientists I know. Real good friends of mine. Fine people."
