A state of emergency has been declared in Iceland after lava from a volcanic eruption damaged key hot water pipes.
Thousands of people in the Reykjanes Peninsula have been urged to limit their hot water and electricity use as the pipes could take days to fix.
There are concerns that other crucial pipelines close to the Svartsengi power station could be affected if the lava flow does not ease soon.
It is the third such eruption on the peninsula since December.
Let’s see… I’ve got earthquakes, birds, snakes and aeroplanes but no volcanic eruptions for my card. Anyone get End Of The World As We Know It bingo from this round?
This is the third eruption in the same place in the past two months, if ‘a volcano erupts near Grindavík, Iceland’ was on your bingo card it should have already been marked. And having ‘any volcano erupts’ on a bingo card would make the game too easy since there are about fifty volcanos erupting at any one time.
How could you not. Still need 2 or 3 in a row to get bingo. Still need nuclear war and neither bidet and trump win or, 3 major hurricane land falls, stock market crash and ocean oil spill.
