it's cute, but it's got a few geos worried.
There was a lot of earthquake movement that preceded it, so there might have been substantial intra plate decompression and it looks like it used a mantle pathway from 20km down that hasn't flowed for 14000 years, when they've analysed its composition. It came up really fast. most of the other icelandic eruptions have been a different type, often thick rhylolites from shallower partial melting, a different class entirely. similar tholeitic basalts to this like hawaii's kilauea have erupted continuously for 35 years, and sinabung in sumatra has been spewing out since it popped its cork in 2010. It might be the start of something big....

So
the people there might have to move somewhere else and stop shagging their relatives?
(apparently inbreeding is such a problem that they have a phone app to check if someone is too closely related before you start shagging)

Was told this by a tour guide
Problem is, it's difficult to identify people because of how their surnames work.

I'll bite. What are they worried about exactly?

well, I say worried, but knowing other geos they're probably looking forward to it
but for other people, you might be looking at a long lasting and growing volcanic event, as these deeper tholeiitic basalt tend to go on for a while once reactivated, and can send up some big ash clouds once they get going. sinabung started off small but in the last few years has been sending up huge ash clouds 8km high. Atlantic winds can take these things over europe and fuck up flights. being iceland, at least there's not a lot of people living close by.
