A volcanic eruption that has engulfed homes in an Icelandic fishing port confirms that a long-dormant faultline running under the country has woken up, threatening to belch out lava with little warning for years to come, an expert warned on Tuesday.
0.00000375% of the world’s population is 300, not 30,000. I don’t think math’s your strong suit. Not that fractions of the world’s population should be a metric for whether we care about a disaster.

For a city? Yes
For a country? Not so much

TIL I’m basically no one :c

Funny that you’re downvoted so heavily, my Icelandic buddy just nodded along at this statement
Yeah, I was baffled how empty it is when I visited. Their capital is like a district in most other capitals.
Still beautiful though.
We were told as much when we visited. Apparently they get upwards of a million tourists a year, three times their actual population.
