Cracks in the road - not a pothole. They are 8 feet across. And then who wants to look down to see how far down they go? There are hundreds of earthquakes daily. There are bulges in the land as well as holes. There are cracks running through the town of Grindavik. So far there's no fire fountain and lava flows. And of course, the gases are toxic.
This is on the ground in Iceland. The last big event that got our attention was in 2010 when an Icelandic volcano shot huge amounts of ash into the atmosphere and 100,000 flights and 10 million travellers were put on hold.
So while there hasn't been any "news" for a few days, there are live cam videos that one can watch. An update an hour ago says that magmatic gas has been detected at a borehole in Svartsengi, signalling an imminent eruption over the coming days.
So we'll wait like the Icelanders and see what develops. In the meantime, I wonder if there is a sense of humour in Iceland. Perhaps there is, certainly other nationalities seem to find Iceland funny.

I read that the Icelandic alphabet doesn't have a 'Z' in it. How do the people there sleep at night?
What does an Icelandic dogs bark sound like? Björk
What do you do if you're lost in an Icelandic forest? Stand up!
Doesn't it look like the Disney Music Hall is a collapsing moment in an Icelandic volcano!
