The Viking Nation Rimmugygur have set up their tents. They hold their National Festival these days and fight with swords and shoot each other with a bow as in Valhalla past. At night all rise to live and singing and drinking from the bull horn all all the whole night.

Possible 100 days a powerful volcanic eruption
Explosive activity in "Eyfell" glacier volcanic has increased and effusive part has decreased for the last two days. This results in a higher eruption column with increased tephra fallout the IMO says. There are no signs that the eruption is about to end. No measurable geophysical changes within the Katla volcano. See more in Status Report issued by Icelandic Meteorological Office and Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Iceland, at 18:00.
