re: Iceland getting 1,400 quakes as fears of eruption grow. State of Emergency issued.

Several decades ago, I vacationed in Iceland, before it was discovered.
I had sprained my right ankle but I was the only one of us who could drive the stick shift VW. Car tire went very flat near where the quakes are. We hobbled up to a house, we were welcomed warmly by the engineer and his wife and children. My German matched theirs from their time in Germany earning his degree. He was into geothermal exploration and development ("when we drill for thermal we get water and most of our water wells find lots of heat.")

I hope this is west of them, they were building their house as they lived in it and could afford the additional materials.
